Hi Greg, the previous rule existed since 2009 and I never liked it. It is not a special case in Garmin software but a workaround to fix improper tagging. I'd be happy to remove the new rule completely. If I got that right only Minko wants it. See again http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/pipermail/mkgmap-dev/2016q3/025104.html

I guess the real issue is that garmin thinks it is? (Also, for US people, note that OSM's definition of abandoned is different from the US definition. The US definition is a legal thing, and some rails that are US-abandoned have tracks present. Nothing to do in mkgmap, but if you are a US railfan and not an OSM expert, you'll assume wrong.) _______________________________________________ mkgmap-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev _______________________________________________ mkgmap-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev
