[mkgmap-dev] Lines distorted

Fri Jan 30 00:14:07 GMT 2015

I want to continue Enrico's questioning a bit. I have a similar issue with
the way polygons display on my Garmin device. What appears as a smooth
curve on the OSM slippy map are very blocky on the device. I have played
with the reduce-point-density=4 and reduce-point-density-polygon=8
parameters in an attempt to smooth those curves but they seem to have no
effect. I can live with the distortion but I wonder, what do these two
parameters actually control?

Cheers,
Dave
