[Talk-us] Beach routing

[Bryan Housel]

I thought about this, but not all beaches are navigable.  Some really are pretty treacherous, and I don’t think this is always easy to tell from aerial imagery.  I have also been to perfectly navigable beaches where you are specifically not allowed to use vehicles because turtles build their nests there.

I think it is safer to assume that a beach should not be used for navigation unless it’s explicitly tagged for it (and I think a path or track is the most straightforward way of tagging this).
