[mkgmap-dev] missing turn notes and city names out of polygons

From stefan at binaervarianz.de stefan at binaervarianz.de on Tue Apr 21 09:38:54 BST 2009

I just took out a r1006 map for a little ride.

Two observations:

At some point along a route my Garmin etrex legend HCx stopped telling  
me when to
take exits, when to make a turn etc.

I made some turns right out of memory, than failed. The etrex  
recalculated the route, but this didn't fix the missing turn advices.  
I failed again and the device recalculated, this time reverting to the  
'normal' behaivior of making anouncements and drawing nixe turn advice  
screens.

This may of course be a bug in the firmware, not in the generated map.

Second thing: I unsuccessfully searched for a village name both in the  
city search and the all pois dialog. All streets in this village are  
there (found through road-name-pois).

I found that the village is marked only as a polygon in the osm data.  
Could it be that city names without a dedicated node are not written  
to the poi list?

Regards

Stefan
