[mkgmap-dev] Level and Resolution

Sat Jul 16 19:41:27 BST 2011

I am having a problem with level/resolution, and would appreciate advice.

I have mapped 'barrier=gate' to an unused Garmin code using the instruction

barrier=gate {add name = 'gate'} [0x1600 level 2]

in the 'points' style file, with a corresponding entry defining a 
graphic in the TYP file.

This works, except that it appears at all magnifications in MapSource, 
but only at very high resolution (scale = 120ft) in the GPS. Changing 
the 'level' or using 'resolution' instead seems to make no difference.

I have a very similar problem with 'railway=rail'. Whatever the 
resolution in the 'lines' file, it appears all the time in MapSource, 
but only below 0.3 miles resolution in the GPS. But other lines - e.g. 
'highway=track' appear much earlier, even when they have the same 
resolution or level.

It appears that both MapSource and the GPS are ignoring the 
resolution/level in the style files and imposing their own (different) 
defaults.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Many thanks,

Roger Calvert
