I've also been thinking that a map with all of these problems would be a good idea, but I don't know if that would be feasible. Pro: have all problems in one, easily compilable, easily editable map; this map being small and exchangeable (by e-mail or svn). Con: the need to maintain this map; in fact, many of the corner cases will only be transferrable to this testmap once you know what to transfer, which is probably 90% of the investigation.

As said before (in the first A, B, C routing problem), my Garmin Nuvi will take routes that Mapsource won't. Also, the first problem had to do with three tiles, MapSource unwilling to route from tile A to tile C through tile B on a specific road. So we're not sure if it's Mapsource, mkgmap & cpsmapper, or some subtle interaction between all three. V. -- Durgerdamstraat 29, 1507 JL Zaandam; telefoon 075-7074579
