[mkgmap-dev] Disconnected map sections, types in TYP-files.

Fri Oct 9 15:49:22 BST 2020

Hi.
Both actually, i can follow such lines for many kilometers.
In the past i was also able to find similar cases on www.opentopomap.org, which 
for sure has routing problems over longer distances.

Here is one such place which i was able to locate just now:
https://www.opentopomap.org/#map=15/58.92148/18.28258
If i recall correctly, this show (or showed) a white line on a GPS.

Kind regards,
Karl
