[mkgmap-dev] Routing

Tue Jan 14 15:11:36 GMT 2014

Hi Steve,

the new NodDisplay tool reports a lot of errors for files
that were created with latest mkgmap .
I see lost sync messages as well as things like
" error INVALID node, low=0, tabpos=83f, max=30bf"

Similar problems with my Garmin img file.
