<div dir="ltr">Hi all,<br><br>I hesitate to commit this patch because I think that we<br>probably can remove the code instead of "fixing" it.<br><br>I found this in imgformat-1.0.pdf:<br><br><span style="font-family: Helvetica-Bold;font-size:13pt;color:rgb(54,53,57);font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;"><b>Highway Records, Exit Records and Highway Data Records</b><br><span style="font-family: Times-Roman;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(54,53,57);font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;">These records were apparently used by the old <span style="font-family: Times-Italic;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(54,53,57);font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;"><i>Roads and Recreation </i><span style="font-family: Times-Roman;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(54,53,57);font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;">maps to describe services<br><span style="font-family: Times-Roman;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(54,53,57);font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;">available at various highway exits, rest areas and so on</span></span><br style=" font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "></span></span></span><br>In mkgmap we have code to write these records, and this code prints the "has no region" warning.<br><br>I still have no idea where the data is used.
