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

[Jason Remillard]

 Hi Martijn,

I think it would be fine to put a scout section into the routing tag page.

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

It should not be much text to describe what tags are used.

Also, following the rest of this thread, the track/surface/etc tagging
situation is very confusing.

Thanks
Jason
