The map link does not tell me much, need a house object or something like that to look at. have you tried any of these? http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dparking_entrance http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:entrance http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relation:building imho a good routing program would display a list of existing entrance points and let you choose from those.
