[mkgmap-dev] what makes a way a road?

Wed Apr 23 07:03:54 BST 2014

Hi all,

I am looking at the problem described by Enrico:
http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/Different-rendering-tp5803738.html

One of the reasons for the problem is that mkgmap treats 
"roads" different to other lines.

Another problem is that it is not clearly documented how you can
change a way to a road. 

If I got that right, Garmin will not route over lines with non-routable
types. A routable type is between 0x01 and 0x13 or one of: 0x1a, 0x1b, 0x16,
so all other are non-routable.

The problem: We calculate the road network for all ways with a 
road_class/road_speed atttribute and a type that is not 
extended ( < 0x10000), no matter if the type is routable.

Is this intended? 

Gerd
