What is a locked road in Cartouche?
As of 25-Aug-2010 per Dror The lock feature – right now – does the following: • Disables any automated geometry changes – i.e. GPS tracks will no longer drag the road towards some average of all GPS tracks on a segment. Manual editing – in the cartouche – is still possible. • Disables any automated driving direction change – i.e. if you set the road as one way, even if someone drives the opposite way, it will remain one way. (This has some unlocking to it – if a lot of people drive the opposite way, or only the opposite way, eventually it will unlock) • Sets the routing to ‘obey’ the connectivity on the segment. That is, if a turn is not allowed (on the cartouche), usually the routing algorithm will give such a turn a penalty of x points and will try to avoid it, as much as possible. If the segment is locked, the penalty to make a turn against what is defined in the cartouche grows a lot, and the chances of getting a turn instruction that is against what has been defined is almost non
