[mkgmap-dev] New exit_hints branch

Fri Dec 21 11:00:01 GMT 2012

Thanks for this great feature WanMil! At exits it works as expected, One
thing though. Not all motorway_junction nodes are related to exits. In some
cases they are used for the name of interchanges (like 'Kreuz
Bielefeld<http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=51.94222&lon=8.545&zoom=16&layers=M>").
At this moment Mapsource shows 'exit Kreuz Bielefeld'  and not the
destination. Is there a way to make a distinction, possibly by the
difference that exits always lead to lower grade highways?

Cheers, Johan
