The following features are the only ones which seem to need NT: Speed limits multiple language support postal code filtering lane connections and junction view (note both not supported by Mapsource, mapsource cannot send this info to the GPS)
Not needed and possible without NT: Date time modifiers (for restrictions) --- would be really nice if mkgmap supported this (it could give a push in OSM for such data) Traffic events RDS extended turn restrictions DEM _______________________________________________ mkgmap-dev mailing list mkgmap-dev@lists.mkgmap.org.uk http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev
