[mkgmap-dev] option link-pois-to-ways information

From Ticker Berkin rwb-mkgmap at jagit.co.uk on Thu Feb 17 15:12:26 GMT 2022

Hi Gerd

I don't have a record of when I was last faced with a route through the
type of area I mentioned, only to find it was not possible. Given it
has happened to me a few times, I'd say there is a very high
probability that there are many similar instances.

To stop this happening again I used mkgmap:way-has-pois, possibly being
some form of barrier, to inhibit through-routing. However this caused
the problem I encountered last week where eTrex 30/BaseCamp will use a
footpath to access the area instead of the road. I can give you the
real example for this.

mkgmap:way-has-pois is far too crude a test which is why I've
implemented the mkgmap:poi-barrier and mkgmap:poi-highway lists of the
actual POI types on the way.

There is no perfect solution, but the new variable are an improvement.
