Re: [mkgmap-dev] [PATCH v1] Synthesise cycleways that allow reverse bicycle routing on oneway streets
I think this is just one of those cases, where you notice that Garmin map format simply does not allow to create a map that is useful for several usage cases. Better use a dedicated cycle-map (in which you would delete the oneway information in case of cycleway=opposite or similar). Mark Burton wrote: Hi Clinton, Thanks for the feedback. I tested this last night, as there are several streets close by where this applies. It seemed to work... mostly. Strange things start to happen when you are directly on the street in question. It appears that my eTrex sometimes decided I was on the street, and not the cycleway, and sent me backwards. Conversely when I switched back to car routing, the GPS device sent me (for short distances) on the cycleway. Things seemed to be OK when I started routing outside of the one-way street. Yes, I would expect problems if you start on or very near to one of these fake cycleways. Can't think of how to get around that. Perhaps it would be a good idea to use an option to turn this feature on rather than it being always active. I would like to test this further: to do so, I have to first update the OSM map in my area (there are a lot of one-way streets here which allow reverse-flow bicycle traffic, but I have always ignored them). I'll try to report back in a few days with further real-world results. Thanks, that would be good.

Re: [mkgmap-dev] [PATCH v1] Synthesise cycleways that allow reverse bicycle routing on oneway streets
Mark, thanks a lot !! Unfortunately, I have to postpone own tests as I do not have a development software available at work. Is this patch going to be integrated into Jar snapshot? Will it be available in http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/snapshots/mkgmap-latest.tar.gz tomorrow? The map generated with this patch will be useful for cyclists as well as for motorists; I think, it's a very good solution!

This will allow bicycle traffic to route in the reverse direction. I have tested this using mapsource (it worked!) but not a real GPS yet. It seems to me that if the cycleway is actually a separate track then it would be better not to use cycleway=opposite_track but to have a separate cycleway in the OSM data. If the original way was called Foostrasse, the cycleway will be called Foostrasse (cycleway). The word cycleway is hard coded. If that's an issue for you, feel free to submit a new version of the patch that localises that word.
