That already spots disconnected nodes, broken junctions, duplicated nodes in ways, ways crossing each other without a shared node etc etc. It might just be a duplication of effort to do that again. > Steve Hosgood <[email protected]> writes: > >> May I offer a couple of comments please: >> 1) The positioning of the 'start' and 'end' markers for the route are a >> bit over-critical.

The machine complained that it couldn't find a suitable route from there. So I zoomed in more and managed to place it more accurately on the road. Then the router was happy. The first attempt possibly had the marker about 10m off the road and it wasn't accepted. That just seemed a bit picky, that's all. Position the marker actually *on* the road (or maybe only 1m off the road) and it all seemed OK. >> 2) Would be nice to mark a road type as "avoid if possible".

BTW: it might be nice to be able to set a 'preference' based on paved or unpaved roads. On a mountain bike, you might be happy to ride an unpaved track. On a road-race bike with 20mm wide tyres pumped to 7 bar you certainly *don't*!! Steve
