[Talk-us] routing tags used by actual routing applications

[Jason Remillard]

Hi,

Would it be possible for somebody from telenav/scout/skobbler to
update this page, or make a new wiki page describing what tagging is
actually used to determine if a way is considered for a route?

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_tags_for_routing

Playing around with scout, I have discovered that it will not route
over tracks, cycleways, and paths unless you are in pedestrian mode.
It ignores access=destination, and the surface tag.

Similarly to how default tile server shapes tagging, scout, skobbler ,
osmand, etc, and the other widely used OSM routing applications will
inevitably shape tagging. It would be useful to document what the
mainstream routing application are actually doing rather than
guessing.

Thanks
Jason
