<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Hi<div><br></div><div>I tend to be a rather detailed OSM mapper. The practical issue is Garmins map's restrictions on defining points to around I think 2.5 metres means that I am less fussy now. Trouble with reporting is many roundabouts would be pulled up. As much as I use mkgmap there other applications that draw maps, and people like the pictures of roundabouts to look round.</div><div><br></div><div>Therefore, I think mkgmap will have to deal with as best what the OSM community maps. Just my thoughts.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers</div><div><br><div><hr id="stopSpelling">From: gpetermann_muenchen@hotmail.com<br>To: mkgmap-dev@lists.mkgmap.org.uk<br>Date: Wed, 26 Mar 2014 10:36:41 +0100<br>Subject: [mkgmap-dev] Should mkgmap report overly detailed ways?<br><br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi all,<br><br>I don't know if their is a rule for mappers, but the typical <br>way has not more than 2 nodes on a segment that is < 3m long.<br><br>Some routines (e.g. the new WrongAngleFixer) in mkgmap <br>have a lot of work with ways that are heavyly detailed.<br><br>It would be quite easy to report them like this:<br>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<br><br>The question is: Would anybody use this info reduce the details in OSM?<br><br>Gerd<br><br><br> </div>
