[Talk-ca] GPS and Motorway links ...

[Daniel Begin]

Bonjour, 

 

I've just found out that I have routing troubles with OSM data in a Garmin
GPS when motorway_link are not tagged oneway=yes/no. Here is an example
where some segments of motorway_link can be driven both ways (2 lanes, one
each side)

 

http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/46.0194/-72.3512

 

Everything works fine when tags are.

highway=motorway_link

oneway=no, or 

oneway=yes

 

But it doesn't work if there is no oneway tag. Actually, the way must have
been digitized in the direction I want ot go - as if it assumes that no
oneway tag means oneway=yes.  In the provided example, my GPS will find a
way out of the motorway but it will not find a way in! -  must be looked at
in an editor.

 

It could have been my usual OSM/Garmin provider (
http://www.osmmaps.com/maps/canada ) but when I saw the same behavior in
JOSM I wonder if there is a rule I'm not aware of? Should I change my
OSM/Garmin provider or tell him there is a problem with his conversion
program?

 

Comments or answers?

 

Daniel
