[mkgmap-dev] Inaccuracy of point coordinates

Thu Feb 19 11:38:25 GMT 2009

Hi!

I have noticed, that some ways, which are dead-straight, are not
presented as such in MapSource and Garmin (etrex Vista HCx).
It looks like the coordinates have lost its precision.

Take a look at
http://openstreetmap.org/?lat=48.899634&lon=8.718964&zoom=18&layers=B000FTF

The "double" crossing of Blumenheckstraße and Körnerstraße makes the
straight Blumenheckstraße being distorted on Garmin.  These two points
should be in line with the rest of the points on Blumenheckstraße,
they are not in MapSource.  Some other lines, which are supposed to be
parallel (they are in josm and mapnik) look really weird in MapSource.
