[mkgmap-dev] How to label maps generated by mkgmap -r3742

Hi Greg,

I am not sure what you want to achive. When you use the option --geonames-file in splitter
it adds location specific description options for each fie in the generated template.args:
mapname: 63240001
description: ET-Addis Ababa
input-file: 63240001.osm.gz

If you edit those lines before using it in mkgmap you probably get what you want.
Of course it makes no sense to do this each time when you run splitter, so I suggest to
keep the modified file and pass it to splitter with the --split-file.
While OSM data grows you have to repeat the process.
I see no easy way to automate that with a script.

Another option could be to modify the content of the cities file.

Gerd

Betreff: [mkgmap-dev] How to label maps generated by mkgmap -r3742

I am trying to label different maps for each state and the map name seems to be comming from cities15000.zip

Here is my splitter command:

java -Xmx1024m -Xms1024m -ea -jar \MKGMAP\splitter-r560\splitter-r560\splitter.jar --max-nodes=700000 --handle-element-version=keep --mapid="12380000" --geonames-file=\MKGMAP\cities15000.zip --description=OH-greg --max-areas="255" --no-trim --status-freq="600" ohio-latest.osm.pbf
pause

Here is my mkgamp command:

java -ea -Xmx1024M -jar \MKGMAP\mkgmap-r3742\mkgmap-r3742\mkgmap.jar --gmapsupp --mapname=Ohio --description="OH_1-5THIN_BC" --latin1 --index --x-split-name-index --bounds=\MKGMAP\bounds.zip --location-autofill=bounds,is_in,nearest --housenumbers --overview-mapname=OH-ov --overview-mapnumber=12380000 --remove-ovm-work-files --style-file=\MKGMAP\BaseCamp-style\openmapchest --check-styles --family-id=665 --family-name="Ohio" --product-id=3 --series-name="OH_1-5THIN_BC" --area-name="My_maps" --min-size-polygon --route --drive-on=detect,right --check-roundabouts --check-roundabout-flares --remove-short-arcs --add-pois-to-areas --add-pois-to-lines --pois-to-areas-placement="entrance=main;entrance=yes;building=entrance" --generate-sea=extend-sea-sectors,multipolygon,floodblocker,close-gaps=6000 --make-poi-index --process-destination --process-exits --tdbfile --poi-address --verbose -c template.args master_thin.txt
pause

I have used 'description' 'mapname' ' family name' 'series-name' I still cannot seem to get my maps to be labeled correctly.

In BaseCamp v4.6.2 the map is labeled "US-Mansfield" and on my Garmin Montana 600 it is also labeled "US-Mansfield"
