[mkgmap-dev] [PATCH v1] Synthesise cycleways that allow reverse bicycle routing on oneway streets

Tue May 26 10:33:26 BST 2009

Mark, thanks a lot !!

Unfortunately, I have to postpone own tests as I do not have a development software available at work.

Is this patch going to be integrated into Jar snapshot? Will it be available in http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/snapshots/mkgmap-latest.tar.gz tomorrow?

The map generated with this patch will be useful for cyclists as well as for motorists; I think, it's a very good solution!

Markus

> tags are present. This will allow bicycle traffic to route in the
> reverse direction. I have tested this using mapsource (it worked!) but
> not a real GPS yet.

> separate cycleway in the OSM data.

> If the original way was called Foostrasse, the cycleway will be
> called "Foostrasse (cycleway)". The word cycleway is hard coded. If
> that's an issue for you, feel free to submit a new version of the patch
> that localises that word.
