Rename to geometry and junction nodes?<br> </font> </div> <div class="y_msg_container"><br>Hi all,<br><br>as the naming is from 2 years ago I think it could be time to rename<br>'tower' nodes into 'junction' nodes and 'pillar' nodes into 'geometry'<br>nodes. What do you think, would this be (more) intuitive?<br><br>Below a quick documentation which I would add otherwise to the docs.<br><br>Kind Regards,<br>Peter<br><br>**<br>From OpenStreetMap we fetch all nodes and create the routing graph but<br>only a minority of them are actual junctions, which are the ones we are<br>interested while routing. Those junction nodes I call tower nodes which<br>also have a graphhopper node ID associated, going from 0 to<br>graph.getNodes(). The helper nodes between the junctions I call 'pillar<br>nodes' which can be fetched via
