Hi Chris,

Hi, In V1340 my error file is no longer empty :

SCHWERWIEGEND (RoadNetwork): Road null (OSM id 24660945) contains zero length arc SCHWERWIEGEND (RoadNetwork): http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=47.61462&lon=9.95615&zoom=17 SCHWERWIEGEND (RoadNetwork): Road In den Weiden (50) (OSM id 25619933) contains zero length arc SCHWERWIEGEND (RoadNetwork): http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=48.72200&lon=9.37569&zoom=17 SCHWERWIEGEND (RoadNetwork): Road In den Weiden (50) (OSM id 41263850) contains zero length arc SCHWERWIEGEND (RoadNetwork): http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=48.72200&lon=9.37569&zoom=17

I am using the --remove-short-arcs option.

Yes, my recent change to MAX_POINTS_IN_WAY can introduce short arcs so I have been working on a more intelligent version. Please try the attached patch and tell me if the short arcs go away again.

I had also a case where there was a too long arc. Have lost the exact error massage because of too many "too many POIs in group" messages. It was some ferry route between France and Corsica. I've applied your patch and will try the compile again now (will take two hours). Meanwhile I've created a small patch which reduces the noise of these "too many POIs in group" messages. If you find it useful, I will be pleased... Cheers Andre

Hi Andre,

The compile process is just ready and there were no 'zero length arc' messages for the area I compiled. But the other message I mentioned above remains and now I can give you the full text of it:

...

SCHWERWIEGEND (RouteArc): Way Bastia-Savona (id 8068024) contains an arc whose length is too big to be encoded so the road will not be routable

I assume that especially ferry routes tend to be very long and mappers should not be forced to split them up.

Hmm, you should not see that message as the way should be split automatically before it that limit is reached. Something needs fixing, I will look into it.

BTW, 'road' might be the wrong word here since there are no roads on sea. How about 'way'?

Good idea. Cheers, Mark

I have changed that message to include the length of the long arc.

Please process your map again and post what it says.

Here we go:

SCHWERWIEGEND (RouteArc): Way Bastia-Savona (id 8068024) contains an arc whose length (16386 units) is too big to be encoded so the way will not be routable

Hi Chris,

Looks good, error file is empty.

Good, I shall probably commit that as an interim fix until I find what the real problem is. Cheers, Mark
