Hi Dave,

not sure what the problem is.
The subst filters are just used to remove some blanks or semicolons.
The rest is more or less "a list of alternative expressions separated with a vertical bar",
you can search for that term in the style manual:
http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/doc/pdf/style-manual.pdf

I've never tried these options because I use my GPS only for cycling,
but my understanding is that the types 0x08 and 0x09 are special
as they instruct the Garmin device to use the name of the road for the
destination hint, and these rules are used to fill this name with useful
information.

Does that help?

Gerd

Yes, as you can see above, I  understand the intent of those two options. But if someone could further explain what's happening in the rule, I would be most appreciative. 

I'm guessing the first part assigns a name or ref if one appears in the tagging but understanding the logic of the series of "subst" filters following that is, for a newbie, quite challenging.

Hi Dave,

please check the documentation for --process-destination and
--process-exits:
http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/doc/options

If I got this right, these option mark exits so that Garmin knows where
they are where they lead.
