Re: [mkgmap-dev] highway=path only for pedestrians?

Hi Gerd,

AFAIU the rule highway=path {set highway=footway} should be removed.

Yes, that sounds correct. One reason for the current situation could be that you might not want to route bicycles to a narrow forest path, especially in the autumn when it is muddy, or in the winter when there is lots of snow. It really depends on the type of the bicycle and on the weather and road conditions. Anyway, I guess that mkgmap should not try to be too clever about what is reasonable. It should only care what is allowed. It is up to the user to decide whether to follow a routing advice. Marko
