I had a little play with Cloudmade's routing stuff and it wasn't quite
working for me.....

http://maps.cloudmade.com/?lat=51.103306&lng=-114.079413&zoom=15&directions=51.10050375773113,-114.0750789642334,51.10594712658125,-114.08280372619629&travel=foot&styleId=3697

Both foot and cycle routes take a long way around (car goes even further
thought an 'access=bus' section).

The data looks good. The car route probably is using the faster route due to the secondary roads.


How often is the route database updated? Cycle way through path was last
edited around the 19th June, but is not used in the route.

It is normally updated weekly. We are currently using data from 2009-06-17.


Also in realality the park is also routeable, one could just walk up
Trafford Ave and over a bit of grass. Is it possible to tag so this can
happen?


You need to add a footpath over the grass. You can only route where there is connectivity, or there is bad data.



And on this one, it routes the bike slightly further:

If the start/end points are moved slightly it permits foot/cycles to go
both ways so it's not a tagging thing. What's going on?


It will be a combination of the weightings of the types of road, and the distance.
