Hi Gerd I haven't found a problem with having having it set like this for extended types and I'll run with it like this for the moment. I might have got my eTrex HCx test confused, so not absolutely sure that it displayed a difference. I'll re-test. The other thing I'll test today is routing with NOD/NET ONEWAY correct and has_direction false. Ticker On Sun, 2021-05-16 at 04:28 +0000, Gerd Petermann wrote:
Hi Ticker,
if I got that right you say that the dir-for-extended.patch is the right way to set the direction flag in RGN for extended line types?

Hi all
I've been testing the effect of the DIR flag (0x40) in various ways:
GPSMapEdit: shows a direction arrow on all standard line types. It appears not to read this flag for extended line types, but, if set manually, show an arrow on these as well.
eTrex HCx: For all line types, including extended, when hovering over the line, appends " (DIR)" to the name, where DIR is N, NE, E etc. It does this regardless of any TYP representation of the line. eg "Newburgh Street (W)".
eTrex 30x: Like above, but I don't think it shows (DIR) for extended types.
Basecamp & Mapsource: Having the flag set makes no visible difference. There seems to be no way of interrogating road/line properties.
I've not found any ill-effects of setting the DIR flag for extended types.
I'm currently messing with TYP files and code to see if there is some combination where Garmin device/program will pick up a different [_line] definition if the dir flag is set.
