[mkgmap-dev] OSM maps on the new eTrex 30

>From what I have read on the forum.gps.nl is that the new Etrex ignores the OSM access tags like in Basecamp.
Car navigation will be routed on cycleways, ignoring bollards etc. Can you confirm this Frank?
If this is the case it seems that Garmin will spread the Basecamp bug to the GPS units and in a matter of time mkgmap generated maps are worthless for navigation purpose, unless we will do something. On my Openfiets cycle maps I already anticipated on this and made all roads where you are not allowed to ride on, unaccesible by using non-routable lines or flag them as unpaved.
