Hi ligfietser, good points. Attached is v7 of the patch. reg. mtb:scale: It seems to me that many mappers confuse this with mtb:scale:uphill. I looked at quite a lot of ways with surface=asphalt & mtb:scale>=2 and they all look like normal roads to me. I tend to think that the tag mtb:scale is more likely to be wrong, mabye the road was once unpaved and later got a new surface. So, I think values > 2 are likely to be unpaved, below the surface tag is more likely to be correct when it says something like paved. Possible special case: surface=wood means paved, e.g. I think of a a bridge, BUT it might also be a construction on a difficult downhill track or a mistake meaning "rough ground with roots or branches". reg. bridleways: I've asked in the UK forum : https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=57310 I think that means you are right, we should treat highway=bridleway like path. BTW: I think the unpatched style really has an error. A way with highway=path + sac_scale=hiking is not treated as unpaved. There are quite a lot of them in the Alps.

Hi Gerd,
Maybe take only mtb:scale>1 into account?
Reg. bridleways, look in the UK, huge numbers of bridleways are tagged with surface=paved or surface=asphalt.
So I'd say better only take bridleways into account that don't have mkgmap:unpaved=0
________________________________ Hi ligfietser,
reg. mtb:scale: both the german and english the wiki for mtb:scale=0 say "Gravel or packed earth". I think that means unaved. But you are right, a lot of ways are tagged mtb:scale=0 &surface=asphalt, i also found some with mtb:scale=1 Does that mean that we should better ignore the mtb:scale tag reg. unpaved?
reg. bridleway: My understanding is that horses don't like to go on paved ways. Do you have an example for a paved bridleway?
