I've already used it to fix three routing problems (an overly long oneway, an access=no that no longer applied, and a bidirectional motorway). Except they're not active. They haven't fixed anything. The routing is still wrong. Look: http://www.openstreetmap.org/directions?engine=osrm_car&route=45.0034%2C-74.7403%3B45.0119%2C-74.7379#map=11/44.8909/-75.1077 We need two more things: 1) a list of common problems that cause misrouting, and 2) an estimate of how long before fixing a problem results in fixing the routing. I'm sure the latter is a caching / updating problem, but we need to let people know. Especially useful for the younger mappers who aren't confident that taking away that inappropriate one-way fixes the routing problem they saw. Those two pieces of information could probably be supplied by having a link on the routing panel that says "Is this route wrong?" That could point to a wiki page explaining how to help. -- --my blog is at http://blog.russnelson.com Crynwr supports open source software 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315-600-8815 Potsdam, NY 13676-3213 | Sheepdog _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
