I don't think it's wrong either but that roundabout was edited by
someone this morning. Perhaps, they fixed a problem and your using
older data with mkgmap?

Thanks, that was a good idea.

Well, confluence is such a lovely word, succinct and its meaning is
perfect:

Main Entry: con·flu·ence
Pronunciation: \ˈkän-ˌflü-ən(t)s, kən-ˈ\
Function: noun
Date: 15th century

1 : a coming or flowing together, meeting, or gathering at one point <a happy confluence of weather and scenery>
2 a : the flowing together of two or more streams b : the place of meeting of two streams c : the combined stream formed by conjunction

Cheers,

Mark
