Should we print out a warning if someone still uses the options charset
and/or lower-case? Or should we remove these options? This seems to be a common pitfall since the index branch has been merged.
I agree, and go further, I would like to through every option including the ones that Felix mentions from time and ask if it should exist, if the default should change or if it should be combined with others.
Running mkgmap without any options at all should produce a reasonable map in most cases with options being for tweeks, adding information or dealing with difficult data
As this themes are discussed now at the mailing list, I have another suggestion with the options. I would like the options beeing embedded in the options file in the styles. There they belongs to. Then it would be possible to set e.g. the dpfilter settings and the min polygon size for a cycle map to other values than for a street map. In the default style could reasonable default settings be set. Regards, Johann
