<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Hi Steve,<br><br><div>> > 1) Why do we need the new class NumberCoord?<br>> <br>> There is always more than one way to do anything... so no you<br>> don't need it. I suggested it because it requires no memory<br>> and it expresses the relationship that a CoordNode is<br>> a NumberNode.<br><br>OK, my reason for prefering the bit flag is that it allows to change <br>a normal coord to a "NumberCoord" without allocating a new object.<br>I think that makes life easier.<br><br>> <br>> > 2) Is a CoordNode always also a number node? Or is it possible<br>> <br>> Yes a CoordNode is a number node.<br>> <br>> > to combine the numbers for multiple arcs? I guess that would allow<br>> > to save some bytes.<br>> <br>> You can skip number nodes if there are no known numbers on that<br>> part of the road. But otherwise it is from number node to number node.<br>> Arc is a NOD concept, house numbers are purely a NET concept. I know<br>> that we don't support a NET only build but if we did it could have<br>> house numbers without any routing at all.<br><br>OK, I may try to code the support for NET without NOD later.<br><br>Gerd<br></div>                                            </div></body>
