Okay, the merge-lines seems to be responsible for it! - However also 
very aggressive dp filter settings might cause the tooltip to show up 
slighltly away from the mouse (the tooltip will show up where the road 
would be in resolution 24) - however only when using --merge-lines the 
tooltip distance gets so great that sometimes it actually breaks using 
the routing tool in Mapsource. Aggressive dp filter alone (=10) cause no 
damage.
