LaneMaker is a lightweight yet powerful desktop road network editor. Compared to commercial mapping software, it is intended for casual users and hobbyists, providing a free and easy experience without steep learning curve or $$ investment.
The Windows version is recommanded for better UI performance and stability, while LaneMaker remains a cross-platform project.
- Internally, LaneMaker heavily relies on ASAM OpenDRIVE standard for geometric information bookkeeping.
- The exported .xodr does not 100% comply with ASAM OpenDRIVE standard, nor can LaneMaker load an arbitrary .xodr.
- Nonetheless, the exported map can be correctly loaded in OpenDRIVE online viewer.
- Traffic has been seen stuck at highway exits. I guess it has something to do with the application losing focus, but haven't found a way to reliably reproduce it.
- Vehicle spawning on a large map takes a substantial amount of time, and may cause the program to stop responding on weak systems. Be sure to check out the progress bar from the console.
If you find anything bothering or can't get around with, you are welcome to report via Github issues. Please attach the .xodr map and .dat action record if possible.
