Sounds easy but it isn't. QLGT does not know that the one polyline is
the same as the other one. It's just a line and at the end of the line
it does not really know how to proceed and what line nearby is the right
one to follow. E.g. take a road that leads into a channel. If QLGT uses
the closest polyline it would add the channel to the path.

To solve these problems the Garmin format adds routing information that
helps the routing algorithm to follow the polylines that form a road.
However QLGT does not extract this information. Thus it's blind and
can't go on at this point.
