[mkgmap-dev] Commit r4715: rework of options for reverse merge

Sun May 16 10:52:39 BST 2021

Hi Gerd

I haven't found a problem with having having it set like this for
extended types and I'll run with it like this for the moment. I might
have got my eTrex HCx test confused, so not absolutely sure that it
displayed a difference. I'll re-test.

The other thing I'll test today is routing with NOD/NET ONEWAY correct
and has_direction false.
