    Hi Stefan,<br>
    With this question, you open a big can of worms.<br>
    <br>
    What do you call "repairing geometry"? <br>
    Automatically fixing overshoots and undershoots?<br>
    When is a road-closure seen to be an undershoot, and then
    automatically closed (in error) like a T-junction should be?<br>
    What if a road widening on a cadastral vector map is so small it
    gets snapped up?<br>
    <br>
    Perhaps give an example of your dataset and some of the errors you
    expect therein.<br>
    <br>
    ...but, if your dataset is not a simple one, best you don't just
    rely on software to clean it. Chances are the guy that wrote the
    "cleaning" routine in (any) software only had a darn good
    understanding of topology, and not that of the logical meaning of
    your dataset.<br>
    <br>
    Hope this helps (a bit).<br>
    Kind regards,<br>
    Zoltan<br>
