Hi Clinton,
1. An addition to the lines style file, which inserts the special code before the highway reference (hex 0x04 for motorways, 0x05 for major highways, 0x06 for minor highways).
I had to use a hex editor to insert these symbols.
cgpsmapper allows you to enter those codes using a syntax ~[0x??] but that doesn't seem to work with mkgmap. If it did, the binary editor would not be needed.
What about \x04 (hex) or \4 (octal) or \u4 (hex, Unicode)? I have experienced that Java *.properties files allow the \u prefix for inputting Unicode code points. I don't know which method mkgmap uses for parsing the files. I'd vote for the \u syntax, as the files already are in Unicode (encoded to bytes in UTF-8). Marko
