[mkgmap-dev] New exit_hints branch

Sat Dec 22 09:50:32 GMT 2012

Yes, but the leave now to City1 should be realized by the destination tag.

I know it is not tagged everywhere. But tagging of exits in motorway 
junctions is at least inconsistent. One of my test junctions was Kreuz 
Kamp-Lintfort 
(http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=51.48782&lon=6.58276&zoom=16&layers=M). 
On this junction using e1 and e2 for the new exit hint feature was very 
irritating and could better be modelled with the destination tag.
