Okay, so however this would mean on can only use one type per "line" - 
or can I put
highway=* [0x01 resolution 24-21] [0x02 resolution 20-16]
???

-- Regarding why would I like to route with Mapsource?
1. Etrex cannot have any route with more than ~ 100 direction changes 
without via poing -  without running out of memory on route calculation. 
Mapsource currently does about twice to three times the distance, and 
much easier to check whether route is working well or not.
Why no online service? There simply is no online router that is easily 
configurable to take 500 tags into account when routing, with mkgmap 
this is doable!!!
So for mtb/cycle autorouting, the dreaded Mapsource is currently the 
best tool (for long distances gpsmapedit routes much better, but no 
possibility to export the routes (which are of great quality), I 
contacted Konstantin and asked him whether he could implement to save 
routes as tracks with all via points, or something similar (then one 
could use WinGdB to make a perfect route for GPS/Mapsource out of the 
track) but he has not implemented it (yet).
