Lots of good advice. I just wanted to add that the OP should be a bit cautious in "correcting" data. access tags are supposed to encode whether one is allowed to do something, in addition to needing it to be physically possible. A rough road with a locked gate, in an area that is known to allow hiking and bicycling would usually have a barrier node that is tagged something like (but read the wiki!): access=private foot=yes bicycle=yes If the gate has a no trespassing sign, and is tagged foot=no or lets the access=private flow down to foot, then it's correctly tagged. Areas that are posted no access but where this is widely disregarded are very difficult to map. There is a permissive tag, but I would not use that with explicit no trespassing signs. Another bit of advice is to look at the history of the node and see how last edited it, and to write to them using the messaging function or to comment on the changeset. This is especially true if they are local. Also, make sure that you are using the correct profile in osmand. It is supposed to, and in my experience generally does, use access tags for the right mode of transport. Note that my comments are made without having any understanding of what's actually on the ground there or whether the existing data is correct. I'm just cautioning to really understand the on-the-ground reality and the tagging and not assume 100% "osmand didn't route me like I want" implies "tag is wrong" because there are a lot of steps and complexity in between. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Osmand" group.
