I have a third idea, similar to the first - does a route relation make sense for this?
I don't think it's possible to make a routable way out of a relation with mkgmap.
Why not? I have successfully built a bus route map with some relations and lines rules. Is there something special about routability? I thought that the NET section is created after style file processing.
So, I choosed the simplest solution and mapped the line as route=shuttle_train.
You could set this attribute in the relations file too.
If the route is too complicated(!?) MS switches to direct-line routing. :-(
Sorry, I have no idea about that. The Edge 705 often cheats in bicycle navigation by jumping to car road after a few km, but I haven't seen it switch to direct-line routing yet. But you have a much higher way density I guess. Marko
