Hi
Another question, just for my understanding: How does mkgmap handle OSM tags with multiple values separated by semicolon? For example an entry like this
<tag k="highway" v="traffic_signals;crossing"/>
I know that entries like the one above are not conforming to the osm rules
but unfortunately there are lots of them in the osm database. The intention of the authors is a logical OR operation. Perhaps it might be usefull if mkgmap expands entries like this so that they match "highway=traffic_signals" and "highway=crossing"?
It doesn't treat them in any special way. I'm not too keen to support this, but if you or anyone has a good way of doing this that doesn't slow mkgmap down noticeably, then I will apply it. Cheers, ..Steve
