[mkgmap-dev] Commit: r2314: Ignore access=permissive|designated|official just like access=yes.

Nope, you didn't understand what I meant.

True access=no or access=private (all cases where we currently set all 
vehicles/foot to no) - shouldn't be routable at all!!! This way we make 
sure, it also works with newer GPS devices and Basecamp the way it's 
supposed to.

access=destination on the other hand, should be set like access=no 
currently. Meaning routable but forbidden. The big problem, that 
everyone should be aware of however is, that with new GPS firmwares, 
Basecamp v 3.3 or higher, there is no difference in whether you set 
access=no or motorcar=no - as only motorcar value is respected. However 
it not only blocks cars, motorcycles and so on, but all means of 
transport except foot/walking/hiking/...

Also mkgmap=carpool is handled exactly like motorcar=no now.

Unpaved and toll are still working correctly, however some means of 
transport cannot block unpaved roads, while others you cannot allow it.
Ferry attribue is still working too, while we have no way of putting the 
attributes for other things like gondolas correctly.
