I think access=permissive is correctly mapped to access=yes in mkgmap.
I have contacted the mapper but he doesn't agree with this.
access=permissive means that the landowner gave his permission to access this footway.
Footways are meant to access by foot only. So no access for all other vehicles.
So access=permissive on highway=footway is basically an error, unless it is a walking path that isn't a public right of way, on which cars may drive and people may walk.
So the way is open for every mode of transport, cars included.
If cars are not permitted foot=permissive is the correct tagging.
If I map this road to foot=permissive, mkgmap will block this road too:
It will add access = no but it can't add foot = yes because there is already a tag foot = permissive
That's a style file bug then. In Garmin, there is no notion of permissive, so it makes sense to map permissive to yes.
Unless mkgmap doesnt set foot = permissive to foot = yes, Garmin doesnt know what to do and will block this for all traffic including pedestrians.
So we are back to the discussion about bicycles from this topic: http://www.mail-archive.com/mkgmap-dev@lists.mkgmap.org.uk/msg10590.html
I would suggest to set all vehicles access with permissive to yes, so bicycle=permissive > bicycle=yes foot=permissive > foot=yes motorcar, moped, motorbike,hgv etc same
sounds right
except access=permissive > delete access
huh? shouldn't access=foo map to for all modes bar, bar=foo before the permissive to yes (and official to yes) mappings? Is this controversial, or just a matter of getting the code to do the right thing?
