[mkgmap-dev] uisng wildcards in names

Sun Oct 16 20:50:58 BST 2011

I have tried now to flag unpaved roads with the following string:

highway=* &  surface ~ '.*(cob|compact|dirt|earth|gr|loam|mud|peb|sand|unpaved).*' { add mkgmap:unpaved=1 }

This will include things like:

misspellings (surface=coblestone)
variations like cobblestones and cobblestone;
surface=grass, grass_paver, gras, grit, ground, gravel, grond grind grint etc but also great ;-)
surface=mixture of gravel and sand
surface=loam;gravel

Maybe this could be included into the default styles ?
