Hi Christian,
Would it be possible to add support for access=permit, and possibly the legacy access=license?

On a recent trip to Tenerife, I was a bit surprised to find one of the paths I planned to walk required a permit, and there was a 500EUR fine if you were caught without one! There are several paths in the Anaga that this applies to, as well as the path to the summit of Teidi (I knew about that one).

Other mappers have helpfully tried to mark these paths as needing a permit, some using access=license (which was abandoned a while ago) and some with access=permit, or foot=permit (which is currently a draft proposal). I tried tweaking Elevate4, but can’t get it to render, so I assume it needs adding to the tag translation file?

I’m sure a lot of people would find it useful to know in advance which paths require permits – permits are free and easy to obtain, but have to be booked in advance.

Thanks

Hi Vance,

Access=licence exists 242 times on ways in the whole OSM Database.
access=permit + foot=permit are proposals

Im pretty shure that a lot more than 242 ways need a permit to walk along.
And _that_ is the problem with most of the access tags – you usualy can’t trust them.

At Tenerife there is only one mountain path (3 ways) with foot=permit tagged by VanceC 😉

Anyway, I added access=permit with tag-transform rule.

<osm-tag key='access' value='permit' renderable='false' />

	
<translation>
		<name>access only with permit</name>
		<description>access only with permit</description>
		<match mode="or" >
			<tag k="access" v="licence"/>
			<tag k="access" v="permit"/>
			<tag k="foot" v="permit"/>			
		</match>
		<output>
			<copy-unmatched/>
			<tag k="access" v="permit"/>
		</output>
	</translation>	

However, it isn’t rendered in Elevate Theme.
Canary_Islands will include this tag with the next update – for the other european maps I’m not shure cause the update was already running while I added this tag.

Best regards
Chriistian

Thanks Christian,
Could you also add in the spelling “license” as well as “licence” there seem to be tags with both spellings.

I really appreciate what you are doing here – your maps of Spain and the Canaries are the best I have found – I often go for walking holidays there & they are so much clearer than the IGN Topo maps I used to use!

Thanks
Vance
