Mathieu, what you did is what Seppe is suggesting to do in Ghent, if I understand correctly. In Brussels you have both areas and lines. The routing uses the lines. In Ghent, in a lot of places, the lines were removed. Op 24-feb.-2016 13:09 schreef "Matthieu Gaillet" : > I mapped the pedestrian a

I mapped the pedestrian area in Brussels using areas and the autorouter seems quite happy with them : have a look : http://www.openstreetmap.org/directions?engine=graphhopper_foot&route=50.8472%2C4.3403%3B50.8508%2C4.3524#map=15/50.8500/4.3532 Or did I miss your point ? Matthieu (sur iMobile)

> It does however show a bigger problem: it's very difficult to notice that something is removed in real-life, and adapt OSM to reflect the reality. Now we know these phones are removed. But the same would hold for all other types of POI. True that. Luckily, phone boots are shown quite prominently

It's better to do it manually. It wouldn't surprise me if some emergency phones are tagged (wrongly) with this tag. So a manual correction could find these. Meanwhile, it doesn't bother me too buch that these are still present. Everyone in Belgium knows that there are no more public phones, so nob
