[mkgmap-dev] tags containing special character 0x7f

Sat May 13 08:39:58 BST 2017

Hi all,

from time to time the code in mkgmap stumbles over labels starting with 0x7f.
I have no idea how mappers are able to put that into the tag value, but it happens.
See for example this changeset:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/45726495

I think we should remove this character from all tag values when reading the input file, 
like we do with repeated spaces. OK?
