Hi A very good question and had to check it myself. The answer is yes ... but Basecamp & Mapsource respond differently. You can , it seems, insert a carriage return but the tooltiptext (bubble) in Basecamp will only be one line which means the rest of the text will appear below . Interestingly,

[mkgmap-dev] Oneway 1 or -1 BUG?

2016-03-14 Thread nwillink
I have a suspicion that mkgmap quite understandably (!) parses oneway=-1 as oneway=yes and oneway=1 as reverse (ie arrows reversed) . However, for some unknown reason , osm defines oneway=-1 as meaning 'reverse arrows' and uses oneway=1 to mean 'oneway=yes'. In other words, mkgmap , when parsing

Ligfietser is correct about non bitmap lines generally having superior draworder to bitmap lines. Again, the behaviour of lines is determined by your device ,not Mapsource or Bascemap. One sure way of getting arrows to appear in the center is by creating a) a bmp line for oneway=yes etc b) an inv

When lines etc in a TYP file are not rendered correctly in Basecamp/Mapsource then if some lines in the TYP file are shown correctly but others not, part of the TYP file is corrupt. If none of them are shown correctly, the FID and PID do not match those used by the IMGs /gemapsupp. This happens w

I'm not so sure mkgmap creates unusual search results, as the behaviour you describe applies in my experience to TOPO maps as well. 6402 like all 6400+ falls under 'man made' - the way they 'appear' differs depending on whether you are using Mapsource,Basecamp or say the Oregon - the more recent
