[mkgmap-dev] Putting the DP code under the microscope (simplifyWays patch V8)

Wed Aug 12 19:01:45 BST 2009

I'm currently working on it. Have you tried the patch together with  
routing? In my trials the routing was completely broken after applying  
the patch. That is because the merging is done *after* all the routing  
info is generated. So if two ways are merged into one, the references  
in the routing part of the map point nowhere. Also the turn  
restrictions break, because they also refer to the unmerged ways. I'm  
trying to apply the merging *before* the routing info and the turn  
restrictions are generated, but up to now I run into all kinds of  
trouble doing that. I hope I get it working soon, but if you like to  
work on it as well I can post my current diffs.

Regards
Thilo
