[mkgmap-dev] highway=unclassified & area=yes

Sun Sep 13 17:18:40 BST 2020

In my style I have the following:

(highway=motorway | highway=trunk | highway=primary | highway=secondary | highway=tertiary | highway=motorway_link | highway=trunk_link | highway=primary_link | highway=secondary_link | highway=tertiary_link | highway=residential | highway=unclassified | highway=track | highway=bridleway | highway=cycleway | highway=footway | highway=path) & area=yes {delete highway} # delete unwanted areas

I leave highway=service and highway=pedestrian as these are valid but the others are not.

Regards,
Mike
