[mkgmap-dev] mkgmap-mergeroads

I still see no improvements with mkgmap-mergeroads-r2753, the routing still seeks the motorways as the shortest option for bicycles.
Anyway, also the trunk version takes motorways now and then so maybe it has always been the case.

Next question:
I use --ignore-maxspeeds, but then mkgmap-mergeroads doesn't run. Is this intended?
Better ignore this option or print a warning rather then simply stop processing?

I suppose to ignore this processing, placing a # before include 'inc/roadspeed'; ?

Another more severe bug is that all cycleways by default get a non routable flag for pedestrians

See the img file in gpsmapedit:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/38618699

This behaviour is consistent for every cycleway I checked and the result is that pedestrians avoid cycleways.

So there might be a bug in the style converter altough it adds foot=yes:

highway=cycleway {add access = no; add bicycle = yes; add foot = yes}

I also see in the routing window of gpsmapedit that motorways (Road class 4/major HW) get a selection flag for "no bicycle" (as expected), but not for "no pedestrian".
If I check the img files of Lambertus' OSM maps it shows as expected, no bicycles and no pedestrian routing flag on motorways, and on cycleways all vehicles not routable except bicycles AND pedestrians.
