Hi Gerd,
It may not be clear if you only make maps for drive on right countries, but
have a look at the attached images from a dual carriage way in Lusaka, Zambia
is drive on left. If the type arrows are on the right of the carriageways the
following is the result, at Low zoom level in BaseCamp the arrows are in the
wrong direction. At medium zoom they are under the carriageways and at high
zoom they are mixed together in the middle of the carriageways. This does not
occur if the arrows are on the left.
If you are only making maps covering one country it is fine but at a border
post between countries of different drivesides there are likely to be one ways
and the direction of the arrows would be important.
Maps downloaded from http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/ would benefit from this in
particular.
Dave

Hi Dave,
I don't understand why a oneway needs arrows on the left or right side. Or do
you think about cycleways for which the position is not given otherwise?
Anyway, it should be easy enough to add this tag in the same process that adds
e.g. mkgmap_adminlevel2=*

Hi,
This looks good to me.
With regards to Joris' enquiry, if there is no way to use information in
LocatorConfig.xml in a style file to differentiate between drive on left and
right roads would it be possible to include code that uses LocatorConfig.xml
information to add a tag to ways, when they are processed, indicating they are
drive on right/left. This tag could then be used in the style file to allocate
the appropriate one way type. In a drive on left country the oneway arrows
should be on the left of the road, if they are on the right they will get mixed
up in the centre of a dual carriage way for example. This makes more sense when
2 countries that drive on opposite sides of the road border each other and the
map created covers both countries. Not something that happens in Europe but
does in Central/Southern Africa, Zambia, DRC and Angola for example.
Kind regards,
Dave

Hi,
No complains on the change,
I have recently searched for this LocatorConfig.xml after reading some posts,
but could not find it in the mkgmap zip.
I like to visualize the one-way arrow differently for drive-left countries.
And for that reason want to use a different overlay line code which shifts the
arrow to the other side of the road in the same direction.
Only because it looks nice for those who drive left.
I see in your example that this property is mentioned there 😉
So I wondered if it would be possible to get this information available within
the style rules.
Kind regards and above all.. enjoy the weekend
Joris

The attached patch changes LocatorConfig.xml to reflect this change. Any
complains?
