[mkgmap-dev] Limit the number of highway shields in basecamp and gps

Mon Mar 12 13:44:54 GMT 2018

Hi all,

I think the Garmin renderer only uses the information from the RGN file. This
contains the geometry of the points, lines and shapes, the type and pointer(s) to
the labels. No idea how the renderer decides where to render a highway shield.
I also cannot reproduce the problem with the default style.
I assume the style used by Joris adds multiple ways for one OSM way, maybe with
different labels ?

Gerd

Hi Henning

I think you are right - I have in the past been guilty of forcing labels
on certain long distance walking routes by cutting the highway !

I wonder , Gerd, if it is possible to only add a shield if highway's
length > a  length defined by the user?
