[mkgmap-dev] Commit: r766: Write more of the *.mp-data.

The shortest route does not even work with maps produced by Garmin themselves. The logarithm they are using is simply bad. It only works for very short distances (less than 4-5 intersections). Often shortest route is actually longer in distance than fastest route (tested for City Navigator and some routable topo maps.). Simply forget about shortest route, I don't think you are able to get it to work if Garmin is not. It seems to me that for Garmin shortest means something like, the shortest way alongside the vector between start and finish.

Headings are angle of first and second point, and last-1 vs last.
Lenght should be sum of distances of all points in the line.
 How are lenghts calculated?

  Are the roads present at that map level?
They should be even simplified as a signle point, that is polyline
with point and one zero  delta. And that segment is in net.
