[mkgmap-dev] [Patch v3] sharp angles

From Felix Hartmann extremecarver at gmail.com on Mon Sep 7 08:33:56 BST 2015

Oh - and one thing is sure. In Basecamp Dirt-Bike and ATV have the same
penalties as driving - but the algo differs quite a lot. For "difficult"
long routes - it works much better than driving. Driving seems to have some
hidden preference really for long straight highway type of drives...
