[mkgmap-dev] Oneway arrows

Hi Dave,

I did not follow this thread closely but what do you mean with this ?

"It also explains why the default style uses arrows that lie outside the highway lines. "

Well, that seems to explain why my attempts aren't working. It also explains why the default style uses arrows that lie outside the highway lines. Garmin is overwriting the "arrow highway" line but the part it overwrites is the invisible part.

Knowing Garmin overwrites bitmaps with those low-numbered ways means I would have to bump all highway codes up a notch and reassign them to get the effect I want. And that may produce unseen repercussions later. Or, alternatively, I could go with Wesley's or Greg's approach. I'll need to think about that for a while.

As always, thanks for your help everyone.

Cheers,
Dave

I like Wesley's ARROWS built in to the ROAD, but my ARROWS are 16 pixels wide and sit UNDER the road and you see them protrude outside the edge of the road. (see picture)

Here is my TYP file (look for 0x26)

and my other post has my code for SECONDARY roads in my line file.

I would like to get arrows built in to the road, mine looks bad, but does convey the 1-way direction.

It seems many of us are all working on similar features and it would be nice if we all got together and made a SUPER-DEAFULT STYLE, where we could combine all of these advanced features and if mappers do not wish to use them, they can just DELETE those sections.

I also wanted BRIDGES to be ON TOP, so I moved MOTORWAY linetype to 0x0b and defined BRIDGES to be 0x01 and it works. Pinns suggested this on his website, no roads cross 0x01 linetype.

I dont know how Gregs typ file looks like. It depends how you have configured your type of highway, either a bitmap or vector image.
Bitmap (arrow) on top of a vector image will not work in most cases, unless that bitmap is one of the major line types as in the following example:

Bitmap:

[_line]
Type=0x02
UseOrientation=N
Xpm="32 3 2  1"
"! c #0030FF"
"  c none"
" !!!!!!!!        !!!!!!!!       "
" !!!!!!!!        !!!!!!!!       "
" !!!!!!!!        !!!!!!!!       "
;12345678901234567890123456789012
String1=0x04,cycle route
String2=0x03,fietsroute
String3=0x02,Radroute
ExtendedLabels=Y
FontStyle=SmallFont
CustomColor=No
[end]

Vector:

[_line]
Type=0x03
UseOrientation=N
LineWidth=5
BorderWidth=1
Xpm="0 0 2 0"
"1 c #B4B4B4"
"2 c #525252"
String1=0x04,principal highway
String2=0x03,N-weg
String3=0x02,Hauptverbindungsstraße
ExtendedLabels=Y
FontStyle=SmallFont
CustomColor=No
[end]

@Minko - But Greg says he gets the results I want with the rules he's using. So how to explain that?
