Hi Thorsten, thanks for the nice feedback. I am now working on the code for "Turn restrictions with role=via ways ". I am not sure how complex the changes are, so maybe we should call 3116 the new stable version. Gerd

Hi,
during the last two days I had the chance to compare a lot of long distance routing of my Garmin 62s (Firmware 5.30, so newest one with activity routing) with my map generated with mkgmap r3111 and a commercial built in car navigation system.
The routing on long distance between both devices was the same. The difference between the km the 62s calculated and we drove was about 1%, the time about 3%. Inside of cities on short routes the 62s did choose the better routes, but I think that's only because the OSM data was more up-to-date.
So the "NOD127" branch was really a very good job!
There were only two negative aspects: - the 5.30 firmware for the 62s is a nightmare in stability and usability :( - if you enable "avoid u-turns", the 62s will not only avoid them, but really never does them, even if it means there is no legal way to continue. Means in two situations we were suggested to use a cycleway or a footway. That's reproduceable with the 62s, but not with MapSource, so I think it's a firmware bug. (if somebody wants to try: Route to "Tigerpalast" in Frankfurt a. Main and continue with Routing to "Lange Strasse 30-36" with "avoid u-turn" enabled, car, fastest route).
Thorsten
