[mkgmap-dev] how to use geonames-file option?

Sun Nov 1 23:47:46 GMT 2009

I just thought I would like to use the geonames-file to set area-names. 
However I don't manage to do:

I split with following command:
java -Xmx4800m -jar splitter.jar --max-nodes=%maxnodes% --max-areas=128 
--geonames-file=cities15000 --write-kml=testkml --mapid=%mapid%0000 
%country%.osm

Everything runs nicely here. testkml has entries like the following:
  <Placemark>
    <name>63650000</name>
    <styleUrl>#transWhitePoly</styleUrl>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[*AT*-*Innsbruck*]]>
      </description>
    <Polygon>
      <outerBoundaryIs>
        <LinearRing>
          <coordinates>
            9.492188,46.669922
            9.492188,47.812500
            12.480469,47.812500
            12.480469,46.669922
            9.492188,46.669922
          </coordinates>
        </LinearRing>
      </outerBoundaryIs>
    </Polygon>
  </Placemark>

Now I would like that the file testkml is used to determine input-file 
for mkgmap and set the area name (if country-abbr is set also that is 
fine too as it is present in the kml file). No matter what options I 
give testkml is not used. Am I trying to do something which is not 
possible yet, or am I overlooking something (If I just feed mkgmap using 
the splittet files, output is indifferent whether or not I am using the 
geonames-file option on splitter)?

I would like to use a command like the following for mkgmap:
java -enableassertions -jar -Xmx4800M mkgmap.jar --index --max-jobs=6 
--latin1 --delete-tags-file=deletetags --adjust-turn-headings 
--ignore-maxspeeds --ignore-turn-restrictions --remove-short-arcs=4 
--location-autofill=1 --description=openmtbmap_%abr%_%date% --route 
--country-abbr=%abr% --style-file=new2 --country-name=%country% 
--mapname=%mapid%0000 --family-id=%mapid% --product-id=1 
--series-name=openmtbmap_%abr%_%date% --family-name=mtbmap_%abr%_%date% 
--tdbfile --overview-mapname=mapset --input-file=testkml
