[mkgmap-dev] FYI Population specified on admin boundaries

Wed Feb 17 08:22:40 GMT 2021

That's one to check 😊
This evening....

Otherwise exclude if capital = 2 or something like that
Or in my case I use population from place=city if specified and else from admin-boundary

Met vriendelijke groeten,

Hi Joris,

doesn't that mean that the population of the whole country is used for the capital?

Hi,

The French osm community decided to remove the population tag from cities and towns and add them the municipality admin-border instead.
Because of this tagging place=city can not be displayed at certain zoomlevels based on the population anymore.

I added this to the relation file to have large cities nicely popup early on lower zoomelvels again

type = boundary & boundary = administrative & population = * { apply role=admin_centre
  {
            set population = '${population}';
  }
}

(or bettter:  you assign it here to a new tag “population_from_boundaries” and check both in the points style to avoid accidential overwrites, which I actually did)

Kind regards,
