[mkgmap-dev] Bug - mkgmap distance to insert additional points on straight lines too long

Wed Aug 15 11:00:21 BST 2012

As I observed later, it only happened to play havoc, once some lines, 
that basecamp didn't expect to be routable, contained routing 
information (while Mapsource 6.13 to 6.16 or Basecamp v2 didn't mind at 
all) - then once straight lines with a connection to a non supposed 
object, started to crash, while most things still worked without 
problems. I therefore would like to eliminate lines without nodes for 
distances over ~800m, because I assume, that Basecamp expects nodes. I 
think this could for example improver routing over several tiles - which 
mkgmap created maps still don't properly do (the routing algos try never 
to go back into a tile, it left if possible - you can notice this if you 
make artificially small tiles, and than observe pretty different 
routes). I would hope, that this could improve intertilerouting therefore.
