Personally I think that the way you have done it in the patch is much
more natural than the existing way!

It is also possible to make the Coord structure smaller, since only 24
bits of the latitude and longitude fields are used, so both of the
byte values could be located in the un-used 16 bits. Also there are
only three values of highwayCount that matter: 0, 1, and
more-than-one, so only two bits are required for that. I originally
did it that way, but because of a mistake I gave up and went back to a
separate field.  This would save a bit of memory, but it is only worth
doing if it results in a significant improvement in performance.
