Hi all, I am not sure what to think about the suggestions. My understanding of the feature is that it can help to ease address search, but this only works when the user is able to guess the list of prefix1 words, correct? So, when you create the map for your own, use whatever you like, else I wo

Hi Bodo, the --tdbfile option has no effect on the created gmapsupp. My understanding reg. long distance routing on the device is that the algorthm needs memory which is limited. On my Oregon this typically results in one straigt line after minutes. Maybe the nüvi uses a different algo. It woul

What needs to be embedded into the map, is the Location Table which maps the location IDs in the TMC messages to roads, junctions etc in the map network. The radio messages only contain location IDs, not lat/lon. Not all location tables are available as open data - each country has its own ideas.

I use a gmapsupp.img generated with a reduced style derived from the default mkgmap-style . Routing for cars works fine, if the routes are short. But if I try to plan a long journey (1000 km). The route calculation gets stuck for some minutes at lets say 80 percent and finally comes to a result. B

Hi Dominik, okay, I remember one such barrier after an s-curve on a rather narrow hw=track going downhill. Unwarned, one may arrive with +30 km/h at it. Still. I doubt that we can find a good way to display them. Please try and let us know your results. Gerd

One way is to extract the barriers your self (perhaps use GPSMapEdit) and create a line or circle and save it as a separate mp or osm. I would experiment with barriers near you and judge how effective such lines would be. r Nick -- View this message in context: http://gis.19327.n8.nabble.co

Hi all, Is there any way to transform (user-defined) POIs into short ways? It is quite helpful to see potentially hazardous barriers of any kind in advance on the GPS when cycling. Unfortunately, my device does not care for mkgmap's resolution settings when it comes to POIs and chooses by its
