[mkgmap-dev] Can Extra Resolutions be Implemented

Sun Apr 10 15:30:06 BST 2011

It is clear when zooming in on my GPSMAP 62s that Garmin can make use of 
resolutions greater than 24 with regard to 'styling':

I have a map in which I go with the default 'styling' for 'Residential 
Roads (0x06)' by not specifying this in my TYP file.  I zoom-in to the 
point where I know that level=0 (resolution 24) is displayed and then 
when I zoom-in further, the thickness of the 0x06 road in the Garmin 
style definitely gets increases.  I can clearly see this if examine with 
or without a magnifying glass on the screen.  So Garmin have definitely 
got a way to extend their variation of line thickness's beyond the 
resolution 24 level that is available for us to configure with mkgmap.

This maybe something new implemented on the newer Garmin GPS devices 
that have higher resolution screens.  Can mkgmap be extended so that the 
user can specify styles to appear when zoomed-in over resolution 24 like 
Garmin do?.
