[mkgmap-dev] search for cities on GPSMAP 66s/st and etrex 32x

From Gerd Petermann gpetermann_muenchen at hotmail.com on Tue Nov 23 18:36:52 GMT 2021

Hi Karl,

--mapname is ignored if you use -c template.args as this overwrites the option for each tile (you left this part out).
The option --mapid is for splitter.
Anyway, if your tiles all have different ids this should work fine, at least that's what I know. One of the javawa tools can tell you more, but I don't remember which one.

Gerd

Hi.
--family-id is set to individually 7770, 7780, 7790.

mapid, is that the same as --mapname?
They are also set individually.
--mapname = 77700001, 77800001, 77900001.

The complete list of options is:
--max-jobs \
--family-name="NE EUR" \
--family-id=7770 \
--mapname=77700001 \
--draw-priority=21 \
--latin1 \
--net --route --index --split-name-index \
--make-poi-index \
--housenumbers \
--add-boundary-nodes-at-admin-boundaries=2 \
--output-dir=tiles_7770/ \
--bounds=bounds/ \
--precomp-sea=sea/ \
--style-file=styles_7770/ \
--description="NE EUR routable normal." \
--make-poi-index \
--add-pois-to-areas \
--lower-case \


I could try removing --make-poi-index which i dont know exactly what it does,
but seems to be outdated for "moden" devices.

I am also preparing a TYP-file, do i need to give the family-id to the TYP file
or can i use one genereic for all maps? I currently use one generic, but
perhaps i should compile it with each specific family-id before using with each
map?



Regards
Karl
