Area Type Not Correct

mjmfgm

Hi there Mike,
Mike when I select a standard Area type in GM10 and export to Polish format the finished "MP" prints the <string text > instead of the hex code.

[RGN80]
Type=County
Label=2
Levels=2

This creates an error in cGPSmapper as "308", I noticed this on "County" and "Undefined". There may be more instances where this could be happening.

Could you please check into this, thanks.

global_mapper

Any time Global Mapper does not know the MP hex code to use for a feature, it just writes out the name of the type of the feature so that cGPSMapper can match that text against the text in the RGNType.txt file.

What you need to do is assign a MP_TYPE default attribute to any feature types that exhibit this problem.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Thanks,

Mike

I do not remember that I added these ?
How can I reset this to default ?
Thanks Mike.

global_mapper

I was saying that you need to add them, not remove them. Not all of the built-in types have defined default mappings to MP types as in some cases there just is not an obvious choice of what to use. If you are using those types and exporting them to MP files, you'll need to add your own default attribute list value of MP_TYPE with a value of the desired hex code so that a mapping is defined now that cGPSMapper errors when it encounters an unknown type feature rather than just saving that in the map as a unknown feature type.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Thanks,

That' make sense thank you Mike.:)

I still don't get it, there are tons of area types in the configuration window. How do I know which are standard cGPSmapper ones and which ones are not?
Thanks Mike for your understanding.

There is not a way to tell from the user interface, although the vast majority of built-in types do have an automatic mapping. Here is a list of all the built-in types and what MP hex types they map to. If a type is not in the list, it does not have an automatic mapping:
