[mkgmap-dev] mkgmap-dev Digest, Vol 162, Issue 25

From John Thorn johnrthorn at gmail.com on Sun Jan 16 13:18:09 GMT 2022

Hi Gerd et al,

Downloaded 4865 and ran it to make a .GMAP with no changes to data nor
options

Compared with running v4286 (which works for me so I still use) :

MDR is now 43092K was 47347K

Runtime (reading .MP files) seemed slower, maybe 30% slower

Some .RGN files are bigger : now 5855K was 5823K, for example.

Searching in Basecamp runs with no problems.

Keep up the good work!

John
