[mkgmap-dev] "Unpaved Road"

Sun May 24 21:55:21 BST 2009

Recently, I mapped some disused roads and the like, including this one:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/34929277/history

highway=track
motor_vehicle=unknown
surface=sand
tracktype=grade1
width=2

The map cursor tooltip of the Garmin Edge 705 calls this way
"Unpaved Road" in English.

I am using the default style of mkgmap -r1040.  It remains to be seen
if this is related to the "Avoid unpaved roads" routing option, but
it sure looks promising.  Then again, maybe not.  This ought to be
line style 0x0a, which highway=track and highway=unsurfaced map to.
I will make some experiments later.
