Well, that debatable, but anyway...

What I was suggesting is that when mkgmap finds a line it looks in the 
line style & no other, & when it finds a polygon it looks in polygon & 
no other.  There would be no order or priority, mkgmap would look 
directly in the correct place instead of going through all the files.

I don't see how that would affect routers. I thought these style files 
just decided what colours were used to display on the screen. The data 
in the IMG would still be the same wouldn't it?

Are polygons used in routing? Wouldn't you just go round in circles? :-)

As mentioned previously 'continue' doesn't work file to file :-(
