[mkgmap-dev] [proposal] Display the destination

Fri Oct 5 09:22:24 BST 2012

Hi,
I added following lines to my style file in order to display the
"destination"-Tag on motorway-junctions:

----------

# Set the routing direction
(highway=motorway|highway=motorway_link) & destination=* { add
display_name = '${ref} (${destination})' }
(highway=trunk|highway=trunk_link)       & destination=* { add
display_name = '${ref} (${destination})' }

# Set highway names to include the reference if there is one

----------

This works well (see pictures [2] and [3]), but:

When using the Garmin Types 0x08 and 0x09 (Ramp), Garmin is
evaluating the first way behind all the _link ways.

This is not what is stated in the wiki [1]. In most cases,
only the _link ways are tagged.

So the idea is a new mkgmap option --process-destination
which does following pre-processing:

For all _link ways which have a destination-Tag copy the
tag to the following non-link way (motorway or trunk).
