Re: [mkgmap-dev] Lines distorted

[Dave Swarthout]

I want to continue Enrico's questioning a bit. I have a similar issue with
the way polygons display on my Garmin device. What appears as a smooth
curve on the OSM slippy map are very blocky on the device. I have played
with the reduce-point-density=4 and reduce-point-density-polygon=8
parameters in an attempt to smooth those curves but they seem to have no
effect. I can live with the distortion but I wonder, what do these two
parameters actually control?

Cheers,
Dave

Hi Enrico,

Garmin maps have limited resolution, about 2.4m. One can't draw 
precisely a line, which length is near to this resolution.


You can try to assign the same Garmin object type to all these segments, 
then probably mkgmap will be able to merge them and smooth.
