Hi, I was told today by a bicycle commuter that openstreemap is "interesting but unsuccessful" because "opencyclemap is wrong".
His point was: opencyclemap show the directions for cars but not for cyclists: in his city, there are a lot of streets where car can only go one way, but cyclists can go both. These streets are correctly mapped (have the cycleway=opposite_lane|opposite_track|opposite) but on cyclemap layer, are still represented as oneway on opencyclemap. So, I explained the difference between data and its representation, and I explained that that osm is not unsuccessful. But I also understand my interlocutor point of view: opencyclemap is supposed to be a cyclist map, but it shows directions for cars. So, I was wondering if you knew why this is the way it is ? arno
