And then adding vias to ensure they ALL give the right result (tagging for the routers as opposed to tagging for the renderer) and then hoping future changes (new roads, changes to sped limits, changes to router algorithms/weightings, etc) don't cause any of those routers to change their minds. Because I want the displayed route to EXACTLY match the canonical route, not be an approximation (I am prepared, if forced to, to relax that constraint on long-distance routes but it's not negotiable on urban routes). Of course you’d have the route shown in your editor.

Trying to get it to load the route into JOSM caused a "bad request" error because of the size of the data. There are other buttons that do things that seem to have nothing whatsoever to do with the route and I have no idea what they are displaying. So all it gives me, that I can make sense of, is a set of map pins showing stops and vias. Colour me unimpressed. The proposer suggested that editors would, in future, incorporate a router but that doesn't guarantee it will use the same algorithms/weightings as the routers used by renderers. So with a future editor I no longer have to think like a router because the editor will do that for me. Except the routers used by renderers may come up with a different route. So even if the editor shows me a route that matches the canonical route, the renderers may not. You also accuse John of not having mapped bus routes. > He certainly appears to have no experience of mapping urban bus routes in my part of the world, given that he didn't think bus routes would pass along highway=residential. Bus routes passing through housing estates are very common in my part of the world. He also appeared to have given little or no thought to hail and ride sections of routes, also very common in my part of the world. Whatever experience you two have of mapping bus routes elsewhere, you seem to have little grasp of mapping the sort of bus routes I encounter. That wouldn't be too much of a problem for me if PTV3 were an alternative to PTV2 (until I wanted to ride on a route mapped with PTV3 and started to worry when the bus I was on diverged from the route on the map) but you now want PTV3 to replace PTV2. PTV3 may make life easier for you when mapping the type of routes you map. It would make life harder for me. I have an idea that might lead to a solution that would keep both of us happy (well, not make either of us very unhappy) but I'm probably wrong about that since I can understand the problems of mapping long-distance routes with PTV2 but you see no problem using PTV3 for everything. -- Paul
