[OpenMap Users] Re[2]: Data Access Problem (ESRI Shapefile)

Hello Don,

It is the first field in the dbf file. The set of gid's has "holes" (i.e.
I took a bigger map and I eliminated some streets [using
PostGIS/Postgres] - one may have the set of gid's like {2, 9, 10, 11, 12}).

However there is a one-to-one relationship [based on gid] between records in all
three files.

YES, correctly. But EsriPlugIn won't put on its layer any ancillary data
from the dbf file

As a side note [not related to my modifications]: if one configures the mouse
to give the Distance when I point at a certain street and then I enlarge the
circle a tooltip will appear on the screen presumably showing the street name.
The caption is incorrect and always shows the same street name.

[I've tried this by running bin/openmap multiple times using the same
dataset -- the _same_ street name shows up].

Best regards,
Vladimir
