The author of openmtbmap is at fault, not you. There is absolutely no presumption that highway=trunk implies bicycle=no. Don't change your tagging: encourage others to create a cycle map which does not have the faulty assumptions of the openmtbmap author. Sadly he refuses to open-source his code (http://openmtbmap.org/faq/#i-would-like-to-have-a-look-into-the-style-file-for-mkgmap), which is entirely his prerogative but a shame nonetheless. cyclestreets.net, which is the best-known UK OSM cycling router, does not ban trunk roads like openmtbmap appears to. (/me makes note to generate and upload new version of my Garmin cyclemap...) cheers Richard _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
