[mkgmap-dev] [PATCH v3] Rework of inc/access

Fri Apr 18 12:38:38 BST 2014

It would make it easier for someone (a moped rider?) who wanted to make
a special-purpose map for routing on his moped. The point I would like
to make, is that once you have a central place for "country specific
rules" (some may say "country defaults" but that may be a dangerous term
to use in the OSM) there are many other ways that it can be sensibly
used. Indeed, we already have the address handling, and I have phone
number handling (which I posted about a few months back). 

I am just thinking a bit like an architect - "it's what I do" - a simple
change which enables a wide variety of functions, even ones which
haven't been thought of yet. The current include files are divided first
by function ("address", "roadspeed" etc) and then sometimes internally
by country. Listening to myself for a minute it sounds like I am
advocating inverting that structure. I am probably a bit late to the
party with profound ideas like that! 

Anyway thanks for a wonderful program and keep up the great work!

Maybe put them in one inc/access_country file so anyone can add their speific country rules to this file? # The Netherlands highway=trunk & mkgmap:country=NLD { add bicycle=no; add foot=no } highway=cycleway & mkgmap:country=NLD { add foot=yes } highway=bridleway & mkgmap:country=NLD { add foot=yes } # Belgium highway=trunk & mkgmap:country=BEL { add bicycle=no; add foot=no } highway=cycleway & mkgmap:country=BEL { add foot=yes } highway=bridleway & mkgmap:country=BEL { add foot=yes } _______________________________________________ mkgmap-dev mailing list mkgmap-dev at lists.mkgmap.org.uk <mailto:mkgmap-dev at lists.mkgmap.org.uk> http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev [1] _______________________________________________ mkgmap-dev mailing list mkgmap-dev at lists.mkgmap.org.uk http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev [1]
