Hi Gert, In your letter dated Fri, 6 Oct 2017 06:26:28 +0000 you wrote:
I assume with "bicycle:backward=use_sidepath gets filtered out somewhere" you mean that your have a rule that looks for this tag and the rule is not tri ggered. This may happen when another rule matches earlier.
I put up a small sample at http://stereo.hq.phicoh.net/~philip/tmp/singel.pbf Way 183945794 contains: bicycle=use_sidepath bicycle_backward=use_sidepath bicycle:backward=use_sidepath yet when I put bicycle=use_sidepath { echotags '' } at the top of the 'lines' file, I get Way 183945794 [bicycle=use_sidepath, highway=residential, lit=yes, maxspeed=30, mkgmap:admin_level10=Amsterdam, mkgmap:admin_level2=NLD, mkgmap:admin_level3=Nederland, mkgmap:admin_level4=Noord-Holland, mkgmap:admin_level6=Stadsregio Amsterdam, mkgmap:admin_level8=Amsterdam, mkgmap:admin_level9=Centrum, name=Singel]
The rule like highway!=track { echo 'foo' } is invalid, you probably meant something like highway=* & highway!=track { echo 'foo' }
Yes, that makes sense. I guess that earlier versions of mkgmap just matched everything and didn't complain.
