[mkgmap-dev] Wierd routing problem

Sat Aug 15 13:56:31 BST 2015

Thank you, Gerd,

I've tried to update my copy of CreateIMG with up to date versions of 
splitter and mkgmap, and routing now seems to work properly :) Perhaps I 
should try to contact the CreateIMG author, and suggest that he may want 
to update his release.

John
