Now, trying to utilize the holiday to do as much polygons for Kuantan. Those clouds are really blocking certain zone which I intend to clear as much as possible.

See below for Kuantan polygon progress. Waiting for bro antyong on the ftp as I got problem logging in. :frus:


Looking at your image. Not sure you are using the standard customized type polygon.

In order to be safe. Pls open KL maps for reference on what polygon to use for Houses/Shopping/Industrial Area/Apartments etc etc.

Bro sunn, I am using the following:

University/College (0xa, polygon) aka school
Shopping center (0x8, polygon) aka shop lots
Building/Man-made area (0x13, polygon) aka govt buildings
Unknown (0x10, polygon) aka houses
Unknown (0x11, polygon) aka apartments/condo
City park (0x17, polygon)
Parking lot (0x5, polygon)

Basically, I copy and paste from F-KL the 0x10 and 0x11. Others are available in gpsmapedit. Anything else I need to do on settings in gpsmapedit?

Bro,

So far Ok.

Use 0x12, polygon for Govt office/buildings. The rest, please use as per KL maps until responds from Bro Antyong.

When I combine my poligon with the MFMv110, I can see it in gpsmapedit but when I transfer to the sdcard and view on my 60csx, I can't see the polygon. How to do it right ? Need to test the polygon on the road.

Hi all, just got the gpsmapedit. \:D/ So, cannot tahan to play around, and of course run into some 'blur2' phases. :ko:

1. How do I save only my polygons? Currently, I start with one of *.img from mfm 1.10. Then save as *.mp, then draw my polygons. Finally, export it to *.img via free cgpsmapper.exe. I'm not sure how I can filter my polygons from the original *.img file.

2. How do I view and test my polygons in mapsource as well as on GMXT?

Thanks in advance. :prayer:

What is the “Draw Priority” you have set for your polygon map? MFM map ”Draw Priority” is 26, therefore your polygon map “Draw Priority” must higher than 26 in order to be seen in your GPS device.

Just go to your area and trace the house, shop etc. on a empty screen and save it in .mp file. Just for checking, you can file->add and load the .img file of your area. The rest of it we learn together, step by step. I'm too waiting for the pro to come out and guide us.
