Hi, I agree that a roundabout should look round, and I don't want to solve mkgmap issues in OSM, I just don't understand the idea in situations like this: http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/100564006 362 nodes for a simple curve with 77m length? Gerd Brett Russell wrote
Hi I tend to be a rather detailed OSM mapper. The practical issue is Garmins map's restrictions on defining points to around I think 2.5 metres means that I am less fussy now. Trouble with reporting is many roundabouts would be pulled up. As much as I use mkgmap there other applications that draw maps, and people like the pictures of roundabouts to look round. Therefore, I think mkgmap will have to deal with as best what the OSM community maps. Just my thoughts. Cheers From:

Hi all,
I don't know if their is a rule for mappers, but the typical way has not more than 2 nodes on a segment that is < 3m long.
Some routines (e.g. the new WrongAngleFixer) in mkgmap have a lot of work with ways that are heavyly detailed.
It would be quite easy to report them like this: Warning (POIGeneratorHook): e:\osm_out_work\ontario\20140302_095212\63240011.o5m: highly detailed way http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/100564006 has 362 nodes and is only ~ 77m long
The question is: Would anybody use this info reduce the details in OSM?
Gerd
