Hi Sven,
quite a lot of cycleways around here alongside major roads (primary,secondary,trunk) are tagged as cycleway=track. In this case the Garmin device does not use this ways if "Avoid Highways" is enabled in routing option. The result is a very strange routing in these places.
Would it be possible to generate fake cycleways in this cases simular to what --make-opposite-cycleways is doing?
Should be easy, I will look at that.
As I'm already asking for cycle routing here. Is it known to the developers of mkgmap what the option "Avoid unpaved roads" is actually doing?
Looks like this option does not have any effect with current mkgmap generated maps. Is this just a limitation to certain types of roads or is this an additional per way flag which could be mapped in a way that routing does actually avoid tracks of tracktype >grade1?
At this time, we don't know how to tell the Garmin that a road is unpaved. I have experimented by setting various bits in the per-road data but none, so far, have had the desired effect. It would be great to get that working. Cheers, Mark
