You may want to remove --net and build it in to --route. Another idea is to have "super options", which combine various sub-options, e.g. --make-routeable, which implies --route, --net, --remove-short-arcs, --adjust-turn-headings or --debug-OSM-left, which implies --drive-on-left, --check-roundabouts, --check-roundabout-flares, --report-dead-ends, --max-flare-length-ratio=5 or --optimise, which implies --reduce-point-density-polygon=4, --merge-lines, --reduce-point-density=5.4 etc _______________________________________________ mkgmap-dev mailing list mkgmap-dev@lists.mkgmap.org.uk http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev
