[Tagging] Navaid relation?

[Florian Lohoff]

Hi,
is there any Navaid relation to map an object to a point on 
the routeable network?

Currently all Routing/Navigation application try hard to find the
nearest or best point on the routeable network for a given 
destination lat/lon or object.

I have seen this fail for multiple occurences over the last
decade and i was pointed to one again from a collegue of mine.

Some examples:

- Large OSM objects like airports, campsites, parks, malls etc are not really
  identified by a node/point in OSM but an area. Currently it is mostly
  luck if this is correctly routable. 
- Houses which are routeable by road a but are near road b or vice
  versa.

Adding more roads aka service/driveway does not necessary make it more
deterministic.

People try to work around by adding entrance=yes/main whatever tagging
to objects which work in application A but not B.

In my head i have a relation which has the source object, destination
node on the routeable network and the vehicle/mode of transportation 
to use this for (car, bicycle and foot may have different destinations)

Flo
