Street Names Not Displayed [Bug 151]

Post by popej »

Upgraded from 20.50 to 23.10. As a result my maps lost street names. This is my observation:
- TopoActive 2024.20 shows street names
- TopoActive 2024.10 doesn't show street names
- My maps with TYP graphics don't show street names
- My maps without TYP graphics show street names

Maybe some problem with TYP?

Interesting.
I have renamed da699000d.sid and now TopoActive 2024.20 doesn't show street names either.
Evidently new processing of sid file has damaged support for standard maps.

Just out of curiosity, what version of your maps are you using, and how are your map page settings configured?

I have maps of Poland, which are equivalent of maps from my site, like USA OSM Topo and USA OSM Auto:
Map Links
My topo maps use TYP for defining graphics and they suffer from Montana problem. Auto maps don't and they work correctly.

I have tried to change map's configuration, like to change details, font size and zoom level for names, but it doesn't help.

Do you find the same maps are displayed properly on Garmin devices without Outdoor Maps+?

The same maps were displayed properly with firmware 20.50. And no problem with BaseCamp, when the same img is on a pendrive.

The lack of displaying street names on the map is a limitation of the functionality, the device should display names, but many users turn off the display of street names during hiking, I am one of them.

I think that despite the lack of display, the address search works, and that during route navigation
the street names will be displayed as navigation instructions.

You can wait for a firmware patch or upgrade to an older version of the firmware.

It has been determined this is not the cause of this bug.
