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

Mon Jan 9 04:59:04 GMT 2017

I did not see the hint of option position. I tried to follow the document
attached to mkgmap and put my options in that sequence.

I tried your suggestion using my custom style file:

java -ea -Xmx1024M -jar \MKGMAP\mkgmap-r3742\mkgmap-r3742\mkgmap.jar
--family-id=666 --family-name="Michigan" --product-id=3
--series-name="MI_1-5THIN_BC" --area-name="My_maps"
--description="MI_1-5THIN_BC" --gmapsupp
--style-file=\MKGMAP\BaseCamp-style\openmapchest --latin1 --index
--x-split-name-index --bounds=\MKGMAP\bounds.zip
--location-autofill=bounds,is_in,nearest --housenumbers
--overview-mapname=MI-ov --overview-mapnumber=12390000
--remove-ovm-work-files --check-styles --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 did not see where --description should be placed. I stuck my --style-file
just behind --gmapsupp. This created a map named "US-West Bloomfiled
Township" in BaseCamp and on my Garmin Montana 600. Does this mean my
custom style file is causing this improper map labeling.

Attached is mt style file
