no, it is not :-(
It turned out that there are special cases , see also

I still see this on the todo list, but if nobody else tries to solve it,
you'll have to wait a bit, as I prefer to go biking in the summer ;-)
okay - enjoy the sun....  - I'm sure you deserve it!

that's what I did to create a routable map at res 23:

okay perfect. That makes it easy. I doubt anyone would want to create a routable map at resolution=22 or lower.

IMHO for a scrict car map like "City Navigator" resolution 23 is plenty...
Actually for an intermediary step if it's easier. Would it be possible to have a map with
level 1= 22,
level = 23 for polygons and POI and 24 for lines? It seemed to me that garmin fiddled around in some maps in this way to save space.  However to create a map for all of Europe <4GB I would still say we need to get resolution=23 as level 0 fully working (the rest of the work is to slim down the style-file properly - but only cutting down the style-file would be a too big compromise).


Well - maybe good work for next winter...
