Trouville-sur-Mer. As I wondered what distance I walked, I turned to<br>
Openstreetmap routers... And did not find my answer: beaches are not<br>
considered as highways.<br>
<br>
I thought about adding paths to beach sections that I consider<br>
walkable... But, while some of those beaches have an identifiable path<br>
along their length, for the most part this would be tagging for the<br>
router.<br>
<br>
I fail to imagine a beach that is not walkable. So, should the routers<br>
use natural=beach the same way as highway=path+surface=(sand|<wbr>gravel|*) ?<br>
<br>
The question of routing across natural=beach brings back the past debate<br>
about highway=pedestrian+area=yes - most routers do not route over<br>
areas.<br>
<br>
I just dug this thread, which goes along the same lines as my reflexions<br>

but does no definitely concludes either.<br>
<br>
My conclusion is that I should open wishlist entries for my favorite<br>
routers... Is it a good idea ?<br>
