I use TYPViewer to do the conversion. v4.5.35 if I convert the .typ file to a .txt file, it produces a different map, if I then convert that .txt file to a .typ file, the map produced is correct.
How can I spot any errors the conversion produces ? I have written software in C# that validates the .txt file it it finds no errors. But I can't find any documentation on the format of the .typ file so I can check the contents of match. ________________________________________ From: mkgmap-dev <[email protected]> on behalf of Thorsten Kukuk <[email protected]> Sent: 11 May 2016 09:01 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [mkgmap-dev] Land flooded On Wed, May 11, Gary Bamford wrote: > HI, That is what I have done, I produced a gmapsupp.img file using a .txt > file ( the typ info ) and it produces a different map than the same command > but using the same style info but specified as a .typ file. Most likely: your *.txt file is not in sync with your *typ file or contains errors. After creating the *.txt file from my *.typ file, I had to fix a lot of mistakes in it.
