[mkgmap-dev] routing and cycleway=track

Fri Jul 24 09:14:07 BST 2009

Hi there,

quite a lot of cycleways around here alongside major roads
(primary,secondary,trunk) are tagged as cycleway=track. In this case the
Garmin device does not use this ways if "Avoid Highways" is enabled in
routing option. The result is a very strange routing in these places.

Would it be possible to generate fake cycleways in this cases simular to
what --make-opposite-cycleways is doing?

As I'm already asking for cycle routing here. Is it known to the developers
of mkgmap what the option "Avoid unpaved roads" is actually doing?

Looks like this option does not have any effect with current mkgmap
generated maps. Is this just a limitation to certain types of roads or is
this an additional per way flag which could be mapped in a way that routing
does actually avoid tracks of tracktype >grade1?
