[mkgmap-dev] Rounding off population

Hi Nick,

sorry for the late response.
I think this problem can and should be solved in the style. If you want to tolerate wrong values like this you can use a rule like
population=* {set population='${population|subst:,=>}'}
to remove the comma before before evaluating it further in other rules.

ciao,
Gerd

Betreff: [mkgmap-dev] Rounding off population

Hi

I  have a feeling mkgmap rounds off population when a comma has been
inserted thinking it is a 'continental decimal comma'

In my style I have

place=village & population < 30 {set place=hamlet;echotags "village to
hamlet"}

The following place node gets flagged up as it has been given a
population of 1

https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/271408#map=18/50.82664/-1.70104

When I look at the osm tags it contains:

population:1,350

Perhaps we should not round off population data?

Just a thought.

Nick
