[mkgmap-dev] Commit r4836: Cut labels which are longer than 170 characters, but not the copyright message or labels from ExtTypeAttributes

Fri Dec 24 07:38:40 GMT 2021

Hi all,

I've checked a few old Garmin maps and it seems that Garmin often used 50 bytes as a max length for labels
and obviously names are cut to that length, I see truncated names like "BIBLIOTHÈQUE MUNICIPALE ET INTERUNIVERSITAIRE DE C"
or "CANAL D'IRRIGATION DE REMOULINS À FOURQUES OU LE C" in the Topo France map (2008)

Exception:  The Adria Topo 2.4 (2011) has 90 bytes : "STUDIJ RESTAURACIJA I KONZERVACIJA ARTEFAKATA OD DRVA, PAPIRA, TEKSTILA, METALA I KERAMIKE"

These are the lengths of labels in the index (MDR15). The search for these names works well.

So, 170 is probably still far too high.

Gerd
