Thanks Warin, The Queen Street Mall in Brisbane is exactly that, a pedestrian highway area and with the tag, however I did read something that the tag has to be on the way not the relation so probably the reason routing doesn't work there. https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/7781404 I think

I noticed in ridethecity.com (which uses OSM data) that where there is an area that says bicycle=yes, it will route you around the edges of the area (as if it was a circular way). - Ben. On 1 February 2018 at 07:47, Warin <61sundow...@gmail.com> wrote: > A 'well known' routing problem. > >

A 'well known' routing problem. Exists for areas of concrete too ... I think if you tag an area as pedestrian, or as steps .. routes will not go across them. For an area of steps the bottom, top and sides can have ways that are paths ... that gets around the routing issue. In the longer term

To clarify, both Google Maps and Strava routing can't do this either, I was trying to work out if OSM could do this. On Thu, Feb 1, 2018 at 12:10 AM Jonathon Rossi wrote: > In the past I've mapped exactly what I've surveyed on the ground in local > parks, however I've

[talk-au] Routing through a park that doesn't have actual paths

2018-01-31 Thread Jonathon Rossi
In the past I've mapped exactly what I've surveyed on the ground in local parks, however I've recently been using the OSM routing feature rather than from other services and I've discovered it can't route directly across a park that is just grass. In the following example, I've mapped: - the
