Re: [mkgmap-dev] [PATCH v5] Automatic location completion
El 06/03/11 19:40, WanMil escribió:
I implemented Minkos idea using the style file to set the city,
region, zip and country names.
How does it work?
The new AddressHook adds special tags to each element that is inside a
known boundary:
mkgmap:admin_level2
mkgmap:admin_level3
mkgmap:admin_level4
..
mkgmap:admin_level11
If an admin_level is not known the relevant tag is not set. The same
for the zip tag mkgmap:postalcode.
The style file contains a new rule block (in each file):
mkgmap:country!=* addr:country=*
{ set mkgmap:country='${addr:country}' }
mkgmap:country!=* is_in:country=*
{ set mkgmap:country='${is_in:country}' }
mkgmap:country!=* mkgmap:admin_level2=*
{ set mkgmap:country='${mkgmap:admin_level2}' }
mkgmap:region!=* is_in:county=*
{ set mkgmap:region='${is_in:county}' }
mkgmap:region!=* mkgmap:admin_level6=*
{ set mkgmap:region='${mkgmap:admin_level6}' }
...
mkgmap:city!=* openGeoDB:name=*
{ set mkgmap:city='${openGeoDB:name}' }
mkgmap:city!=* mkgmap:admin_level8=*
{ set mkgmap:city='${mkgmap:admin_level8}' }
...
mkgmap:postal_code!=* addr:postcode=*
{ set mkgmap:postal_code='${addr:postcode}' }
mkgmap:postal_code!=* mkgmap:postcode=*
{ set mkgmap:postal_code='${mkgmap:postalcode}' }
These rules set the mkgmap tags:
mkgmap:country
mkgmap:region
mkgmap:city
mkgmap:postal_code
Only these tags are used to set the country, the region, the city and
the zip code. No more rules are applied automatically (there are still
some in the Locator class but they will be removed).
This enables you to configure which admin_level information you want
to use for the city name, the region names etc. Also country specific
rules are possible (e.g. add a mkgmap:country=NLD rule).
Todo: The country normalization must be performed by the AddressHook
so that one can be sure that the Netherlands are always tagged with
mkgmap:country=NLD (or mkgmap:country=Nederland?)
The rules are not perfect up to now but please feel free to post some
good rules for your country.
I have changed my styles as follows,
mkgmap:region!=* is_in:region=* { set mkgmap:region='${is_in:region}' }
mkgmap:region!=* mkgmap:admin_level4=* { set
mkgmap:region='${mkgmap:admin_level4}' }
mkgmap:region!=* mkgmap:admin_level6=* { set
mkgmap:region='${mkgmap:admin_level6}' }
mkgmap:region!=* mkgmap:admin_level5=* { set
mkgmap:region='${mkgmap:admin_level5}' }
mkgmap:region!=* mkgmap:admin_level3=* { set
mkgmap:region='${mkgmap:admin_level3}' }
to adapt them to what I think is best for Spain, but, if I understood
well, something is not working as expected: places tagged as villages
that have no is_in:region information and are within admin_level=4 and
admin_level=6 polygons take the region from the a_l=6 polygon, instead
of a_l=4 as it should be from the style above.
WanMil
Attached is the next step for the automatic location completion:
* Some speed improvements (it's still slow but not as slow as before ;-)
* boundary=postal_code is now supported.
* The Locator does no longer overwrite already set attributes. This
seems to be a better solution. I think the Locator must be rewritten
completely. Up to now I have commented some lines only without deep
understanding what it is really doing.
Some things that don't work:
* Lot's of POIs are assigned with the default country although the
MapElements are assigned with the correct country. Example:
- Spain splitted with --overlap=3000 (more overlap is better for my
patch)
- Cafe Antxi (http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/629554219) is
correctly assigned with country=ESP but in the POI search it is
displayed with the default country.
I have no idea why.
* Zips are only applied to POIs. Streets seems to be not yet supported
by the MDR creation. (= Steve?)
Things to do:
* Speed improvement (At the moment the location search takes as much
time as the rest of the map creation)
* A better mapping of city, region to the admin-levels
* Make use more OSM information (like residential areas, place=city POIs
in residential areas etc.)
* Clean up of the Locator class
WanMil
I have improved calculation of the country information. In case no
country information is available the most used country in a tile is
used
for all elements without country tag.
The patch now patches the trunk and no longer the index branch.
I have observed that lots of POIs are assigned the default country
although I they are assigned a different country. I have no clue where
this happens.
Maybe an index related problem? I was hoping that Steves commit today
would fix that problem but it didn't.
WanMil
I have done some development and want you to share my current
findings.
1. The MapElement copy constructor seems to have a bug. The attributes
map which contains the city, region and country information is not
copied. From my point of view this is an important thing that
should be
fixed in the trunk also.
2. In the patch the Locator is disabled as

The previous versions had a file name hardcoded and would not work in most

I tested the current version from svn and found out, that the TYP

Any chance that we can add that registry entry automatically?
I have no idea how to find out the name of the TYP file, else
the entry would look like:

Re: [mkgmap-dev] custom background polygon in overview map
Hello I have noticed that mkgmap creates rectangles in overview map even if maps contain regions with irregular shapes. These are defined as 0x4b background polygons in .mp files. Background polygons were compiled correctly into individual (numbered) .img files, but 0x4a definition areas in overview map did not follow background shapes. Thanks, this is a useful improvement. gives the rectangle. FileInfo can't read background shape from .img file. I had to find a way for transferring background polygons from MapMaker to TdbBuilder. However this will not work if you are using .img files as input, which is often the case. The background should really be on the FileInfo. There is code that can read from the .img file. It currently only reads lines and points but could be extended to read polygons too. See MapReader and in particular RGNFileReader. I realise this is a much bigger task and probably slower. reader/overview/OverviewMapDataSource.java assigns more detailed levels for overview map I don't think this change would work with most .osm maps. A patch that made the overview map levels configurable (from the .mp file and/or command line) like for the main map would be great though.
