Hi Marko,
I came across an incompletely mapped area that has some dead-end oneways, and mkgmap duly complained. Initially, I "fixed" this with a bogus road that had a FIXME tag, but the original mapper reverted that change. Now I have added fixme=continue to each bogus oneway. I wanted to suppress the dead-end check if the endpoints of the oneway have FIXME or fixme set, but neither Coord nor CoordNode carry any OSM attributes. Where could this be achieved? I would rather not add any mkgmap:dead-end-check=no to the OpenStreetMap repository? The FIXME would be more universal and also show up in validators.
Yes, something like that could be done. Not sure about doing it for FIXME=*, though because if it said FIXME='not sure about road name' or something else that was unrelated to the routing/connectivity of the way then disabling the dead end check would not be appropriate. I don't have a problem with adding mkgmap:dead-end-check=no to the GB map but I am not really concerned about someone having a dead end on a residential road. So now, I just add mkgmap:dead-end-check=no in my style file to all ways that I don't really care about (tracks, footpaths, residential, service, etc.) Cheers, Mark
