[mkgmap-dev] Hiding long tunnels from map view while keeping them routable

Hi Marko,

I don't know any way to hide an object in the map without a typ file,
besides that I would not want to hide it completely.

Speaking of tunnels, would it be technically possible to hide tunnels
from the map view, while keeping them in the routing graph? This could
be useful in urban areas. A few years ago, I added rules to hide
unrouteable tunnels, such as highway=service,access=private, or railway
tunnels (subways).

A separate discussion is whether it is practically feasible to hide such
tunnels from the map display in the default style. In my opinion, it
would be. As long as the tunnel exists in the routing graph, it can be
used for routing (typically, for cars only). Pedestrians and bicyclists
or anyone who is at the street level would not be confused by seeing the
map cluttered with the "bogus" road.

Best regards,

        Marko
