[mkgmap-dev] Limit the number of highway shields in basecamp and gps

Hi Henning

I think you are right - I have in the past been guilty of forcing labels 
on certain long distance walking routes by cutting the highway !

I wonder , Gerd, if it is possible to only add a shield if highway's 
length > a  length defined by the user?
