[talk-au] Interest Only - mkgmap/Garmin routing problem.

Just a note of possible interest.

I create Garmin GPS nav maps (mkgmap) to not only get places, but also 
check for missing or problem OSM data against observations.

Was recently heading for the Yeoval NSW showground caravan site and I 
kept getting an unable to route warning. The GPS unit kept dummy 
spitting and cancelling my destination request. It did however find and 
route to the museum a few hundred metres up the street. This kind of 
suggests it wasn't a way problem until closer to the showground.

The reason was that the race track or bridal path inside the showground 
was an orphaned highway object rather than a racetrack. ie it didn't 
join the rest of the road network. It was nearest the caravan site node.

Easily solved.
