2 megameter is a short trip (about 1250 miles)? I made this trip three times in this last year. This is almost exclusively Interstate usage (think German Autobahn). On 05-May-21 03:32, Felix Hartmann wrote: Really, routing over long distances on highways? I haven"t met people using a Garmin

Huh, that statement is wrong. Garmin uses OSM and they acknowledge that fact. I own five Garmin receivers for car navigation and use Garmin maps in the new ones and mkgmap generated maps in the older ones. I do not use Google Maps in my phones for navigation at all. On 05-May-21 02:42, Felix

at 300m there is no difference at all. Actually the patch will help you to set lower DP level for 300m (that is resolution 23 in Basecamp) while giving higher DP values for higher resolution. That came because for contourlines it needs very low DP value for resolution 23, while if you keep that

Hi Karl, But even then you will never use the overview map. What resolution are you actually using on your device if routing on a highway? I guess 19 or 20... The thing is simply with high DP filter value that you can see the highway pretty straight, but as the route itself is not simplifed that

Hi. Sorry for getting into the discussion. Routing over long distances is important, also via highways. There can be multiple nearby exists along the way that one does not know by heart and does not want to miss. Quite often one (at least i) does not want to fiddle around with device while

oh yeah - and as long as you do not crash the size limit on the overview map - just use a lower DP value then. Removing of the zig zags actually enables you to use a lower DP value in the overview map - hence matching the route actually better than before. Overview map is always pretty fast. Just

Really, routing over long distances on highways? I haven"t met people using a Garmin GPS device routing via highways - however many who use it for recreational purposes - so routing over short distances. Anyhow if you use a lower DP value no problem there. It's mainly if you zoom out to overview

oh sorry, no I got confused. We don't need that difference based on level. It's one list where we add all types that in the typfile lead to being impossible to change direction and then of course any routable line can be merged also at level 0 if it is not on that list and has no oneway attribute.

I think the simplify 4 patch had some more improvements for contourlines - but then I played around all the time with the DP values so it's hard to compare. I do know that simplify v4 versus 3 back then was an improvement. I think merging lines of different directions would be good too - with the
