[mkgmap-dev] Oneway arrows

Sun Mar 6 23:33:15 GMT 2016

Well, that seems to explain why my attempts aren't working. It also
explains why the default style uses arrows that lie outside the highway
lines. Garmin is overwriting the "arrow highway" line but the part it
overwrites is the invisible part.

Knowing Garmin overwrites bitmaps with those low-numbered ways means I
would have to bump all highway codes up a notch and reassign them to get
the effect I want. And that may produce unseen repercussions later. Or,
alternatively, I could go with Wesley's or Greg's approach. I'll need to
think about that for a while.

As always, thanks for your help everyone.

Cheers,
Dave
