The subject of people having problems routing because connections weren't made has been brought up before.<br><br>Tried <a href="http://keepright.ipax.at">http://keepright.ipax.at</a> ?<br><br>I have, it got really depressing the number of roads and footpaths that just weren't connected.<br>
<br>CANVEC at least is connected to other CANVEC roads so my personal view is if you want routing either accept a road system based on CANVEC or wait for CommonMap.<br><br>Cheerio John<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 4 March 2011 18:54, Richard Weait <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:richard@weait.com">richard@weait.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
There is a new secret demo of routing on OSM data for Canada. The<br>
demo server could go away without notice, and it doesn't update data<br>
regularly, but it seems to be blindingly fast. Also, it only works<br>
for part of Europe.<br>
<br>
Except it secretly works for part of Canada too!<br>
<br>
So far, I'm using this to test routing connectivity for the Trans<br>
Canada, and for major roads in my area. So far, i see that there is a<br>
continuity problem in Eastern Nova Scotia and I hear that there is a<br>
problem near the Manitoba / Ontario border. In both cases if you try<br>
a route, it looks funny or fails to route. Looking funny is often<br>
either a route that goes the long way 'round, or goes backwards, then<br>
forward, or past the destination then back. The fix is to go find the<br>
overlapping nodes that aren't connected, or the missing bridge or<br>
backwards oneway tag, and fix them. Great fun! It should help find<br>
import issues where we haven't properly stitched imports to existing<br>
data.<br>
<br>
Again, this router isn't yet updating often, so maybe we can put<br>
things we find and fix in this thread, so we don't chase our tails?<br>
Then maybe ask for an update after the weekend?<br>
<br>
What do you think? Feel like doing some secret routing repair? ;-)<br>
<br>
And thanks to Frederik at Geofabrik, for adding Canada to this demo.<br>
This is pretty cool.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Richard<br>
