[mkgmap-dev] Last level not empty, why not anymore?

Wed Aug 12 08:52:10 BST 2009

How comes that the newest mkgmap versions write in information into the 
last level, instead of leaving it empty?

I do think that this prohibits using layers in Mapsource as maps without 
empty level seem to show up allways on top, instead according to their 
mapname/mapid. 3 weeks ago this behaviour still was fine.
There could be several other problems related to not leaving the last 
level empty, though I have not found any except the draw priority issues 
in Mapsource....

I'm not sure since when the problem came up exactly - because I 
currently got problems accessing my main pc remotely, From around 25 
weeks ago to 10 days ago I did not update my mkgmap version because some 
of my own patches were not compatible with the continue patch and mkgmap 
would not build anymore. 10 days ago I switched to newest mkgmap version 
and put in the continue patch - otherwise my mkgmap version is equal to 
svn. So sometime in between 10 days ago and 25 days ago this behaviour 
was changed. (so in between rev 1080 and 1124).
