No, please remove it.

Sorry, I have been busy with work longer than I thought, and I have not 
been able to contribute to mkgmap. I very much appreciate the recent 
development with the style file processing and in the splitter.

If anyone wants to step up as the style file maintainer, be my guest.  
Because I am not using Garmin devices any more (OsmAnd on the Xperia 
Active is good enough for my needs), I am probably not the best person 
to maintain the style. Some things that would interest me, such as 
public transportation routing, do not seem to be doable on the Garmin.

My main use of mkgmap (and currently the main contribution to OSM) is 
fixing the map data in Finland. Mkgmap is good at reporting errors 
related to turn restrictions or oneways.

Best regards,

	Marko

PS: I just updated to the latest splitter and mkgmap, and Finland still 
looks OK. Good work! :-)
