    <p>What actually is it that you're referring to when you say
      "routing" above?</p>
    <p>Different routers will process different tags for different modes
      of transport when deciding whether something is routable or not,
      and they also update at different times (which might even be
      months after the data in OSM has updated).</p>
    <p>If you're referring to the routers available from osm.org, then
      there are two of them (OSRM and Graphopper) and each supports 3
      modes.  Both can route over
