Use of Label2 for roads

Postby k2roble » Thu Jan 15, 2009 2:46 am

I am trying to use Label2 facility for road names in may maps, but I cannot read them, I cannot see the second name on the GPS, neither with MapEdit and neither with Mapsource. Is the label2 feature used only for searching?, can we see this second label with any map program?.

Thanks in advance

We use label2. It works both for display and searching. In the example above, Label is used for the highway code while Label2 is used for common name (Jalan Batang Tiga)

I understand it is visible with Mapsource, but not with MapEdit.I can see it you example in your map with Mapsource. Is it also visible on the GPS units both the labels?

Many thanks for your fast answer

Mapedit does not display Label2.

On my MXT Symbian, Label2 is not shown on normal display. It is shown only when you click the cursor on the road.
