[mkgmap-dev] Missing island names

Fri Mar 19 07:55:28 GMT 2010

Now that the waters are displaying fine, with names, I am facing  
another problem: The names of islands are missing when using the  
default style. I do not see them even in the gmapsupp.img file.

Here are two examples that I tried. The first one is very sparsely  
mapped, and the second one is very detailed:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/42942687
name=Karjamätäs, place=islet (role=inner in a multipolygon that has  
waterway=riverbank in role=outer)

http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/36911729
name=Seurasaari, place=island, natural=coastline (in the Baltic sea)

There is a place=island in the points file but no place=island or  
place=islet in the polygons file. Would that help? What should the area  
name be set to?

If a natural=coastline is converted to a sea multipolygon by the  
generate-sea code, should the natural=coastline island also be  
converted to a land multipolygon in role=outer and any areas on the  
island in role=inner, so that there would be no drawing conflict with  
areas on the island?

Best regards,
