[mkgmap-dev] mkgmap and "memory-full-error"

From Minko ligfietser at online.nl on Thu May 30 09:09:08 BST 2013

There is a workaround for the activity routing, which means you have to use carpool avoidance in the car profile.
This avoids all roads tagged with either access=no OR motorcar=no (dont know what happens with motorcar=yes & access=no).

It really depends now how you use your map. Is it for car navgation or also for cycling? Garmin implemented this carpool avoidance by default in the bicycle profile. Which means that the default rules access=no & bicycle=yes do not longer work as expected in the latest Garmins / Basecamp when you select bicycle as activity (bicycle=yes is ignored).
