It's just a fact of life that complicated access restrictions need multiple tags. Around me, there are things that are physically rough roads, where cars are banned but bicycles and hiking (and horses) are allowed, and access=private foot=designated bicycle=yes horse=yes is how the are or should be tagged. If you are running into roads that just say "access=private" but really are legally open to hiking/biking, then the tags need changing. I'm not sure what you mean by misleading - access as a tag is meant to apply to all modes, unless overridden by a mode-specific tag like foot=. The good news is that you can fix all this up and have a map that works right. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Osmand" group.
