[mkgmap-dev] Commit r4715: rework of options for reverse merge

Sat May 15 19:08:37 BST 2021

Hi

Probably the Garmin meaning has changed over time and it is now a
display characteristic on some devices.

oneway should continue to set it. {set mkgmap:has-direction=no} should
end up with it not set (but correct routing).

My eTrex has always shown this (looking back at an old map). I'd just
never hovered over a one-way road and noticed. Maybe I'd seen something
like "M3 (N)" and just assumed the carriageway was named as such.

It is a bit of a rubbish way of showing one-way compared with putting
an arrow on the road.
