Hello world,<br>
<br>
It can happen for a hiking route, maybe others, to go across a
non-way. One may for example get people across some land without a
path or officially start and end a hike in the middle of a parking
lot.<br>
What must we do:<br>
<ul>
<li>create a pseudo way and what are the tags?</li>
<li>more likely, leave a gap in the route relation, filled with
some element saying "fly to connect"?</li>
</ul>
<p>The crow may be supposed to fly loosely following the roads too
if router software is unable to make a correct route or simply if
the user insists on being a crow. This is not a mapping issue,
but the solution can be the same if the router builds the same
relation as ours as the output of its result.<br>
I suggested several sites to add a flying bird to car, bike and
man to be chosen independently per segment.<br>
</p>
This (unable), in addition to map bugs, is the case when using say
the Google router with an OSM map display. e.g. <a
href="http://www.openrunner.com/">openrunner.com</a>'s doc says to
use Cloudmade router but soft only provides Google's on OSM.<br>
(You'd do something nice reporting this bug).<br>
I only found the following in close relation with this.<br>
In two parts (yes, sometimes the gnus have to fly too ;-))<br>
