highway=path has no implied restrictions for means of transport that are not motor vehicles. It is expected to be tagged seperately if such restrictions are present. > Using path-tag for cycleways would loose some information about the road > type.

No, highway=path doesn't mean "narrow foot path in the woods, orcs lurking behind the trees", it can be any minor way (think "smaller than track") and can have any surface. The whole point is to have a way-type without much implications that can represent "footway/cycleway/bridleway" and any other way types with and without designation for one or more modes of transport, using the *=designated or *=official tags. -Martin _______________________________________________ mkgmap-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev
