I would therefore use the 2nd option, but my positioning of node 'e' will depend on where my photo says it is.
Regardless of routing applications; the best option here is to ask yourself how many stiles are there on the road between c to d. If the answer is none, then the way c-d should not have any node tagged as a stile. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
