[mkgmap-dev] Incorrect runabout exit indication

Fri Oct 3 10:53:36 BST 2014

Hi Johan,

you are downloading the files produced by the server.
These files depend on several input files, program parameters,
the mkgmap release and - of course- the OSM data.
If an error occurs or disappears, we never know
exactly why, and - to me - the server is a black box.

For the programmer, the best situation is a fixed
set of input files and parms that allows him to reproduce
the problem on his own machine.

Hi Gerd

If you think the problem is caused by mkgmap, it would be of great help
if you could reproduce the problem with e.g. the wrong-exit.osm
that I used. Mmmmm, is this not what I have been doing here? Johan

okay, mkgmap r3336 is the current version of the map compiler mkgmap, which
is used by Lambertus who offers the service at http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/.
The r3336 simply means it is based on the revision 3336 in the Subversion repository.
You can download this program here:
http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/download/mkgmap.html

If you think the problem is caused by mkgmap, it would be of great help
if you could reproduce the problem with e.g. the wrong-exit.osm
that I used.
You may also try if the 
"Routable Bicycle (Openfietsmap Lite)" shows the same problem.

@Lambertus: Do you publish the style and the options that are used for your service
anywhere?

Ciao,

I just want to let you know that I do not compile and/or edit any OSM maps. I do not have any experience in the area. I therefore have no idea what “mkgmap r3336” is.

The way I get OSM maps onto my PGS is by visiting http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/, selecting the desired tiles “Generic Routable (new style)” and then clicking on “Build my map”. I then run the *.exe file that will extract the tiles and see to it that I have the correct imported map into BaseCamp. From there load the maps onto my GPS.

Your two *.img files (V1 & V2) I just copied directly onto my GPS for the testing purposes. BO TH work perfectly when I simulate a route… the Danish voice prompt guides me to take the correct exit & and the icon indication the relive position for exiting the roundabout is correct. Regards

Subject: Re: [mkgmap-dev] Incorrect runabout exit indication Hi Johan, And yes... I'm fearing the firmware as the culprit too, however, Garmin's maps and other third party maps complied with others compilers work perfectly.... okay, I did not get that before.
There is a function in mkgmap that manipulates the values of angles to assure
that Garmin gives correct advices at e.g. roundabouts:
--adjust-turn-headings
I think this might be the reason for the problem.
I've compiled two gmapsupp files for the roundabout from your 2nd example,
once with (v1), once without this option (v2)

Please check if you see a difference.
The attached file contains the input file and the different gmapsupp 
files produced with mkgmap r3336:

v1: java -jar mkgmap.jar --route --index --gmapsupp wrong-exit.osm
v2: java -jar mkgmap.jar --route --index --gmapsupp --adjust-turn-headings wrong-exit.osm
