[mkgmap-dev] Multiple pass cleanup possible with style?

Fri Jul 22 20:00:09 BST 2022

I've used the mkgmap:set_unconnected_type and 
mkgmap:set_semi_connected_type to delete already one- and no-connnect ways 
in the OSM data, and that has been helpful, but sometimes I delete ways 
that are connected both ends, with the implication that something now 
that used to be connected on both ends is connected only on one end now, 
and something else that was connected on one end may now be not connected 
on either end.

I think a specific use case is that I find a 2-connect low priority way 
(like service=driveway) that passes through a private building or is very 
short.  Ideally I would like to simply delete all of them but this is 
just a heuristic to reduce file sizes.  Anyway, I delete that way, but 
that way continues on connected to something else, but now that way is 
newly 1- or 0-connect, and I want that removed too.  Of course there are 
two halves left when removing a 2-connect way, but it should be easy 
enough to determine the lower class way (another driveway) is the one that 
should also be trimmed.

(One exact issue is that someone has a loop driveway with both ends 
connected to a residential road, and the loop driveway has an offshoot. 
Removing the driveway would leave the offshoot dangling -- originally one 
connect, now zero connect due to deletion of the loop -- and that I would 
also like to remove.)

Is something like this possible?
