2011/4/9 Marko Mäkelä marko.mak...@iki.fi: Maybe I was being unclear. The use case that I have in mind is the generation of a map set that comprises several layers (families in Garmin terminology). These layers can be enabled or disabled in the map settings menu on the GPS receiver.

Same here. My only issue with QLandkarteGT is the inability to plan routes. Again, the old way of doing things would not be going away. This multi-layer stuff would remain compatible with existing styles and scripts. To take advantage of it, you would have to edit the styles and scripts.

Moin, since my GPS-maps rely heavily on multiple layers, there would be some benefit, if producing of these layer could happen within a single mkgmap run, so that the common proccesing steps would be executed only once. Whether this can be achieved, depends on the time of the processing step. I

Marko, I like the idea to use the same tile data in one mkgmap run to create multiple img files. At least it is worth to discuss it, if it makes mkgmap faster. Before starting to implement it some things have to be considered: * The advantage to create multiple img files in one mkgmap run is
