[mkgmap-dev] Should mkgmap report overly detailed ways?

Wed Mar 26 09:36:41 GMT 2014

Hi all,

I don't know if their is a rule for mappers, but the typical 
way has not more than 2 nodes on a segment that is < 3m long.

Some routines (e.g. the new WrongAngleFixer) in mkgmap 
have a lot of work with ways that are heavyly detailed.

It would be quite easy to report them like this:
Warning (POIGeneratorHook): e:\osm_out_work\ontario\20140302_095212\63240011.o5m: highly detailed way http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/100564006 has 362 nodes and is only ~ 77m long

The question is: Would anybody use this info reduce the details in OSM?

Gerd
