Since this topic has been raised I checked my style files and can find many uses of the word "motorcar" in various access rules. But that brings up the question of how the term "motor_vehicle" relates to it. I had assumed the definition of motor_vehicle would include all powered vehicles: cars, trucks, hgv, motorcycles, etc. while motorcar refers to only passenger cars. But that isn't clear in the "access" style file. I ask because I am confused by line 29, where it seems my assumption is reversed because the value for motor_vehicle is being transferred to the motorcar tag : Line 29: motor_vehicle=* { add motorcar='${motor_vehicle}'; add goods='${motor_vehicle}'; add hgv='${motor_vehicle}'; add psv='${motor_vehicle}'; add emergency='${motor_vehicle}'; } And also this comment: Line 46: # Therefore we have to choose one vehicle type - and the winner is: motorcar After which access is set for a range of situations all involving the term "motorcar" Can someone take a few minutes to explain these rules?

Found out rules are in place. I will examine the case and report back, if it indeed routes over this one track with motorcar=no

Hi,

question: what is happening with a "motorcar=*" key at the moment? My Garmin wanted to send me over a track with "motorcar=no", is that the Garmin's fault or the mapdata's fault?

Thanks, Gerd. I had missed seeing the "add" in those rules. Now I understand. On Sun, Feb 21, 2016 at 5:31 PM, Gerd Petermann < gpetermann_muenchen@hotmail.com> wrote:

And also this comment:

Line 46: # Therefore we have to choose one vehicle type - and the winner is: motorcar

After which access is set for a range of situations all involving the term "motorcar"

Can someone take a few minutes to explain these rules?

The idea is simple , if motor_vehicle=* is used and motorcar is not set,then set motorcar=* to the same value. Note that the action is add, not set.

The line 46 is preceeded by this: # throughroute cannot be handled differently for different vehicle types

It means that the Garmin format has only one bit that means "allow no through route" So, if we find motorcar=destination we set the flag. If I got that right, the flag is ignored when you select a bicycle as vehicle when routing with Garmin software, so the solution seems to be ok for me. One who creates a map for trucks should change this rule.
