I agree that highway=path with the above precisions are an expedient model to represent beach routing, but it is nevertheless most often a hack to work around lack of routing across area features. So, I'll gladly use highway=path + surface=sand + trail_visibility=no but how to handle a walking route on a beach is actually a discussion about routing - and a well-worn one: - https://www.researchgate.net/publication/305272744_Integrating_Open_Spaces_into_OpenStreetMap_Routing_Graphs_for_Realistic_Crossing_Behaviour_in_Pedestrian_Navigation - https://github.com/Project-OSRM/osrm-backend/issues/64 _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
