[mkgmap-dev] Suggestions for DESTINATION hint and EXIT hint

Wed Feb 10 14:55:02 GMT 2016

I have added some SUBST to make the resultant strings look more like City
Navigator.

In you LINE file, look for "# start of rules for process-exits and
process-destination options
"

dest_hint=* { delete dest_hint }
(highway=motorway_link | highway=trunk_link | highway=primary_link |
highway=secondary_link | highway=tertiary_link) & mkgmap:dest_hint=true
#  { set dest_hint = '${destination:ref|subst: =>} ${destination|subst:;=>
|subst:/=> }' |
  { set dest_hint = '${destination:ref|subst: =>|subst: South=> S|subst:
North=> N|subst: East=> E|subst: West=> W} ${destination:street|subst:
Road=> Rd|subst: Street=> St|subst: Avenue=> Ave|subst: Mile=> Mi|subst:
Boulevard=> Blvd|subst: Parkway=> Pkwy|subst: Highway=> Hwy} -
${destination|subst:;=>,|subst:/=>,}' |

         '${destination:street|subst: Road=> Rd|subst: Street=> St|subst:
Avenue=> Ave|subst: Mile=> Mi|subst: Boulevard=> Blvd|subst: Parkway=>
Pkwy|subst: Highway=> Hwy} - ${destination|subst:;=>,|subst:/=>,}'
'${ref|subst: =>|subst: South=> S|subst: North=> N|subst: East=> E|subst:
West=> W} - ${destination|subst:;=>,|subst:/=>,}' |
'${exit_hint_ref|subst: South=> S|subst: North=> N|subst: East=> E|subst:
West=> W} ${exit_hint_name|subst: Road=> Rd|subst: Street=> St|subst:
Avenue=> Ave|subst: Mile=> Mi|subst: Boulevard=> Blvd|subst: Parkway=>
Pkwy|subst: Highway=> Hwy}' |
'${exit_to|subst: Road=> Rd|subst: Street=> St|subst: Avenue=> Ave|subst:
Mile=> Mi|subst: Boulevard=> Blvd|subst: Parkway=> Pkwy|subst: Highway=>
Hwy}' |
         '${destination|subst:;=>,|subst:/=>,}';
       }
# build exit hint
exit_hint=* { delete exit_hint }
(highway=motorway_link | highway=trunk_link | highway=primary_link |
highway=secondary_link | highway=tertiary_link) & mkgmap:exit_hint=true
  { set exit_hint = 'Exit ${mkgmap:exit_hint_ref}
${mkgmap:exit_hint_name|subst: Road=> Rd|subst: Street=> St|subst: Avenue=>
Ave|subst: Mile=> Mi|subst: Boulevard=> Blvd|subst: Parkway=> Pkwy|subst:
Highway=> Hwy}' |
         'Exit ${ref|subst: South=> S|subst: North=> N|subst: East=>
E|subst: West=> W}' |
'Exit ${mkgmap:exit_hint_ref|subst: South=> S|subst: North=> N|subst:
East=> E|subst: West=> W} ${mkgmap:exit_hint_exit_to|subst: Road=>
Rd|subst: Street=> St|subst: Avenue=> Ave|subst: Mile=> Mi|subst:
Boulevard=> Blvd|subst: Parkway=> Pkwy|subst: Highway=> Hwy}' |
         'Exit ${mkgmap:exit_hint_exit_to|subst: Road=> Rd|subst: Street=>
St|subst: Avenue=> Ave|subst: Mile=> Mi|subst: Boulevard=> Blvd|subst:
Parkway=> Pkwy|subst: Highway=> Hwy}' |
         'Exit ${mkgmap:exit_hint_name|subst: Road=> Rd|subst: Street=>
St|subst: Avenue=> Ave|subst: Mile=> Mi|subst: Boulevard=> Blvd|subst:
Parkway=> Pkwy|subst: Highway=> Hwy}' |
         'Exit ${mkgmap:exit_hint_ref|subst: South=> S|subst: North=>
N|subst: East=> E|subst: West=> W}';
       }

# use destination hint and/or exit hint to build name
(highway=motorway_link | highway=trunk_link | highway=primary_link |
highway=secondary_link | highway=tertiary_link) & (mkgmap:exit_hint=true |
mkgmap:dest_hint=true)
  { name '${exit_hint} ${dest_hint}' | '${dest_hint}' | '${exit_hint}'}

It might be nice if we could ABBREVIATE road names in the Default style,
 because all GPS have limited number of characters.
