Mkgmap already splits a number with a unit into its numeric and unit parts and always has done. Also just a small amount of code would be required to convert to a common unit before comparing. Or am I misunderstanding, or is there a bug? ..Steve Felix Hartmann <extremecarver@gmail.com> wrote:
Well it's quite a long time, there has been no discussion about this, however it's more and more common to put the unit into the main key. Could mkgmap do a clean up on this?
It would be great if mkgmap could do the following: Remove any non numeric keys (and not "." or "," ) and place them into a new key called mkgmap:unit=.... Do this for maxspeed, distance, height, width (propose other keys I may
have missed).
As I'm sure this would take quite some time, it should be an option, and there should be a style-file called units_removed where you can specify
the keys for which mkgmap should do this.
Of course an implementation of automatically translating mp/h to km/h and other things would be great to have too, but the above is IMHO first of main importance. The problem is simply that commands like maxspeed>50 or distance<10 don't work otherwise.
