After I have not had time to work on the openmtbmaps for the two recent updates, for this time I did update quite a few things again. Upon request also Israel is now available for download (but if not 1000 ways with mtb:scale due in 6 month in Israel, I'll kick it out again)

I slightly changed the autorouting to get a higher focus on technical trails (hope it works, inside Mapsource/Basecamp there is basically no difference – even though the changes are quite big on the style-file). On my Vista HCx routing improved a bit so I hope this goes as well for other GPS.

railway=platform is now routable too and I hope to have done good progress in hiding tunnels that are not open to the public.

I also adapted all batchfiles (for contourline installations)  to work with the newest mkgmap.jar version –  they will however still work with older mkgmap.jar releases (make sure it's not dated more than 3-4 month though…)
