[mkgmap-dev] maps mixed

Mon Aug 17 17:26:56 BST 2009

Hello,

Now according to the latest firmware, we no longer have to create a
gmapsupp.img file to get multiple maps.
I created multiple maps (data downloaded from geofabrik), and put them
on the SD card.
The first one (Auvergne or "Massif Central") is one I bought.
germany (just baden-wuerttemberg) and france are created using my script
from geofabrik data, and if I have only the first three ones, they all
(3) appear well in the menu (so auvergne, germany, and france).
I created four more maps (andorra, Switzerland, Luxemburg, and belgium).
but now, just "auvergne.img" = massif central) is well displayed in the
menu. France is mixed with Andorra and Belgium, Switzerland is mixed
with Germany. Luxemburg is displayed with both of them, the one on the
menu which is named "Carte OSM Suisse" (so Switzerland and Germany), and
the one name "Carte OSM Andorre" (with France, Andorra, Belgium and
Switzerland).

A screen capture of the menu of my GPS (oregon 400T) is there :

The maps on the SD card are the following ones :

-rwx------ 1 fm root  90699776 2009-08-14 22:49 germany.img*
-rwx------ 1 fm root 125825024 2009-08-17 07:01 france.img*
-rwx------ 1 fm root    183808 2009-08-17 17:50 Andorre.img*
-rwx------ 1 fm root  33868800 2009-08-17 17:50 Suisse.img*
-rwx------ 1 fm root   3265024 2009-08-17 17:50 Luxembourg.img*
-rwx------ 1 fm root  23499776 2009-08-17 17:51 Belgique.img*

Maybe this has something to do with the way I use the mapname,
description ?? parameters. Ideas are welcomed ;-)

My script is too long to be posted here, more than 3000 lines, as I test
lots of things, but if someone is interested about it, I can send it.
I'm a newbie, and my test capabilities are really tiny ;-(
Thank you. Francois
