[mkgmap-dev] Pending changes

Hi all,

I have no idea what to do with patches for default style or typ files. I can decide if I like a patch when I understand what's wrong with the unpatched version, but I don't want to spent my time on cosmetic changes. I simply don't know how to decide if a patch is good or bad unless someone has a good example that shows a problem with the unpatched version (only one problem if possible).

I see two ways to handle this:
1) Steve gives Ticker and /or Joris the right to commit changes to trunk or
2) Ticker and Joris create their own branch(es), either in the mkgmap svn repo or somewhere else.

ciao,
Gerd

Hi Carlos

Some bridges are a bit of a strange case. There are a lot of areas
where I walk that are crossed by many small streams and no formal
paths, but, here and there, there are foot bridges over the streams.
These are normally mapped as [highway=path/footway, bridge=yes] and
mostly don't connect to anything, but sometime to another bridge or a
short section of unconnecting path.

I want to see these on the map, but the little bits of highway will
just cause a routing error if they are picked up as the start or end of
a route; hence my changes.

The only problem I see is if the bridge/highway is connected to the
highway network at one end only and you want to generate a route with
the start or end your of your journey the other side of bridge, then
the routing algo might find another, closer start/end point.

I could change it to be just 'set_unconnected_type' but I considered
the benefits and frequency of fixing paired isolated highway bits
outweighed an incorrect start/end point, which can be overcome by
simply starting the journey in the sensible way and the device will
recalculate or looking at the end-point route and, seeing it is stupid,
choosing a better end-point.
