Forum

The PTV maps and products are constantly being enhanced. Many new and improved functions have been integrated at the request of our customers. In addition, you will have noticed that a maintenance contract on the current versions pays off, as it integrates extended functions. It also guarantees that you remain up-to-date – a basic prerequisite for day-to-day operations. PTV Group is therefore meeting the growing requirements of its clients.

New roadtype “Unpaved roads” on previous xMap versions

Mapping With the Europe City Map Premium 2016.2H we introduced a new roadtype “Unpaved roads”. Because this roadtype is not known by the old renderer (xMap 1.20.1 and earlier) these roads will be displayed in bright green.


Workaround to change the colour of these roadsFAQs

You need to edit the profile file. Depending on your used profile it is silkysand.ini, sandbox.ini or gravelpit.ini in your xMap or xServer /conf/ Folder.
Unfortunately the classic Profile is hardcoded and can not be edited manually.

silkysandunedited

These values:

[config.streeti.colorbytype]
10=65280
[config.streetf.colorbytype]
10=65280

must be changed to:

silkysandedited[config.streeti.colorbytype]
10=9879248
 [config.streetf.colorbytype]
10=9879248
