[mkgmap-dev] Overview2 branch - options file typo?

From Felix Hartmann extremecarver at gmail.com on Mon May 6 18:41:26 BST 2013

Is there a typo in the options file?
"overview-levels = 5:16 6:18 "

shouldn't that be 5:16 6:14 ???
I think that if the numbering continues, further levels should be 
decreasing resolution. So if 18 and 16 should be used in the overview 
map (but why have 17 then as normal map resolution??):
it should read "5:18 6:16" -- However I thought overlapping resolutions 
is not good form (actually dunno what happens).


IMHO 5:16 6:14 is quite good as conservative value. (continent maps). 
Maybe we should even move to 4:17 5:16 6:14 in the overview map (and 0-3 
in the normal map)...


As for the routable basemap on newer garmin GPS. Maybe we could create a 
non routable mkgmap created basemap and recommend people to use it instead?
