[mkgmap-dev] Dead end check

Thanks Ticker. Hadn't noticed that facility in the style manual - there's no mention of the command line option in the help.

 Regards,
Mike

Hi

It is standard mkgmap behaviour to not load OSM tags that it doesn't
see the need for. It detects tags referenced in the style and has a
list of other tags known to be processed by the java code
(resources/styles/builtin-tag-list).

Add extra ones to your style options file:
...
extra-used-tags=mkgmap:dead-end-check,etc,etc

or equiv command line option.
