Re: [mkgmap-dev] mkgmap build greater than 3113 routes through barriers with access=no

Just checking: did you remember to use the --link-pois-to-ways option in your compile command? Also, did you place the barrier node apart from the way or did you format a way node as a barrier? (the latter is preferable, I think.)

As I understand it, the semantics of OSM are that a barrier node in a way does control access. So it's a bug if mkgmap by default does not produce a map that respects that. Essentially, I'm arguing that --link-pois-to-ways should default to on, following the principle that there is a correct garmin representation of OSM semantics and that this correct representation should be the default.
