[OSM-talk] Ensuring Cyclewyays/Footways are routable?

[simon at mungewell.org]

I had a little play with Cloudmade's routing stuff and it wasn't quite
working for me.....

http://maps.cloudmade.com/?lat=51.103306&lng=-114.079413&zoom=15&directions=51.10050375773113,-114.0750789642334,51.10594712658125,-114.08280372619629&travel=foot&styleId=3697

Both foot and cycle routes take a long way around (car goes even further
thought an 'access=bus' section).

How often is the route database updated? Cycle way through path was last
edited around the 19th June, but is not used in the route.

Also in realality the park is also routeable, one could just walk up
Trafford Ave and over a bit of grass. Is it possible to tag so this can
happen?



And on this one, it routes the bike slightly further:
http://maps.cloudmade.com/?lat=51.118516&lng=-114.048493&zoom=16&directions=51.11576782135306,-114.04864311218262,51.12080533765644,-114.04978036880493&travel=bicycle&styleId=1714

If the start/end points are moved slightly it permits foot/cycles to go
both ways so it's not a tagging thing. What's going on?

Cheers,
Mungewell.
