[mkgmap-dev] Support for through_route relations?
mkgmap contains some code to support through_route relations. These relation type is completely undocumented and taginfo showed that it is used only 106 times in the whole planet. Only 26 of them were modified within the last year. The usage is spread over western europe. Shall we still support this type of relation? Can anybody explain what this relation does?

I think the best explanation is in the patch announcement email[1] - perhaps that could be adapted for the OSM Wiki?

[1] URL: http://www.mail-archive.com/mkgmap-dev@lists.mkgmap.org.uk/msg04975.html Thanks for the link! Now there have been 3 years after Mark proposed to document it in the Wiki... I will wait for another two months. If the relation is not documented after that time I think we can remove the code because the usage is very rare. I guess only a very few people know how to use this relation type correctly. From my point of view we shouldn't support inofficial undocumented stuff (although it sounds useful...) Please don't feel offended. Just add the required documentation ;-) WanMil ___ mkgmap-dev mailing list mkgmap-dev@lists.mkgmap.org.uk http://lists.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev
