Map Updates 28.09

Ci spiace, ma questo articolo è disponibile soltanto in English e Deutsch.

No big changes. I changed amenity=drinking_water to be fund now under auto-services/rest. The strange thing is that on the legend map, it shows up in the search, while it does not on more complex maps. I hope that on next map update the search index will be included (mkgmap code is quickly evolving here right now), that should solve such problems and make searching for POIs much faster and more reliable (search for cities). I too increased the tile sizes, I hope that only few maps will be broke because of this, and will correct them tomorrow. This should save some space and make autorouting a bit better (routing over tile borders is still not as effective as inside the same tile. Please tell me by comment here if this results in countries that are partly missing (those without tiles in them at all, I will find myself easily, no need to comment)

New Contourlines and Map Updates 21.09.2009

Ci spiace, ma questo articolo è disponibile soltanto in English e Deutsch.

The big news are contourlines for Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Belgium and the Netherlands. The contourlines of Austria, Germany and the Alps have been updated (removed artefacts on tile borders). There are however artefacts on the borders of the contourlines which can’t be circumvented when cutting with Osmosis – but I have manually removed as much as possible (deleting as few as possible good contourlines).

Maps will be updated tonight without technical changes (only new map data).
