[OSM-dev] Data Consistency Checks

[Harald Kleiner]

Hi David,

[sorry for the delay!]

At the moment the minimum allowed distance from a dead end to any segment is 
10 Meters. I chose this value as it is approximately the width of a road. 
Most of the errors I want to find are such that the end of a road comes that 
near to another segment that even the map gets drawn correctly but logically 
there is no connection...
The limit has to be less enough that you don't get false-positives and large 
enough so you don't miss some errors
