[mkgmap-dev] Duplicate roads added by default style

Mon May 10 10:51:10 BST 2021

Hi all

Maybe railway=platform shouldn't generate a routable line.

Pure duplication of (parts of) roads with identical Garmin img
attributes could be suppressed. These could come from duplication by
the style or distinct OSM ways. In the case of platform=railway, I'd
have thought it to be better mapping to have a distinct OSM way when a
navigable route uses a platform.

I don't have strong feelings about warnings or not for this case.
