It is good that simplification is forced. But of course, it will still
stupidly add a large zig-zag caused by bad reception to the map. (I have
seen beginners manually add such zig-zags before they learn that GPS
isn't perfect, but at least they usually learn)
How does it take care of crossing other ways without a junction point?
