Isn't it a bit redundant to add access=yes to ways? Usually, you would add access restrictions. I would say that this is a problem in the map data.
This is a good point. Looking at the taginfo:
http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/?key=access#values
'access = yes' is definitely being and it seems to be a valid tag/value pair according the wiki. I think it would be a good idea to remove the 'access = yes' from the OSM data. Perhaps we could remove this tag/value pair when mkgmap is reading in the data? That way all of the ways will be "normalized" to mean 'access = yes' if no access tag is present. And then we could keep 'add access = no' for the cycleways which would give the correct behaviour. I can see that my 'set access = no' with overwrite other types of access like 'access = destination' so it's not a good way forward. Thoughts? I'd be happy to make the patch.
A proposed patch to solve this issue is attached. Comments are appreciated. Thanks, Ben
