[mkgmap-dev] [PATCH v10] support for motorway exits (last call before committing to trunk)

Mon Mar 30 23:00:39 BST 2009

> Yet more flexibility is introduced by the fact that the type code for
> the exit can be one of a huge range. At the moment, I am using:
>
> highway=motorway_junction { name '${ref} ${name}' | '${ref}' |
> '${name}' } highway=motorway_junction [0x2000 resolution 16]
>
> highway=services { name '${ref} ${name}' | '${ref}' | '${name}' }
> highway=services [0x210f resolution 16]
>
> 0x2000 means "exit no services"
>
> 0x210f means "exit (service")
>
> I played around with the codes and on my gps some codes make little
> symbols appear to show that the exit has food, hotel, etc. We can
> probably make it use a suitable code from the facilities info but I
> haven't looked into that yet.
