[mkgmap-dev] documentation improvement patch

Mon Feb 11 15:58:53 GMT 2019

Hi Gerd,

It was a draft that shouldn't had left my computer. :-(
Sorry.

Anyway, shouldn't the information be verified for inconsistencies between OSM's driving_side tag and the file LocatorConfig.xml?

M.

Hi muralito,

not sure what you mean by that. What I wanted to say is that you need a working location hook which requires the bounds.zip to be able to use the information in LocatorConfig.xml which finally contains the information about lefthand/righthand traffic for all countries.

Gerd

Hi Nick,

the sea and bounds options are problem cases as they require further files.
Since drive-on=detect depends on the bounds this is even more complex.

Great idea

I think a sea option particularly in the UK, Greece etc would be useful

Possibly drive left/right ?
