Hi, these footpaths are explicitly mapped sidewalks (or pavements in UK), they are tagged “highway=footway” and “footway=sidewalk”. They are used e.g. for wheelchair routing. > See the attached screenshot: OsmAnd renders it a > bit too red (see > http://pinux.info/files/Screenshot_2014-10-30-00-14-45.png ). In this case, I think OsmAnd's shouldn't render footways tagged additionally with “footway=sidewalk” as prominently as normal footways. But that's the case with nearly all renderers today :-/ > This is > only in a few zones of Vienna. Vienna is a big city, and this seem to be the 'test regions' - it will take some years to have all sidewalks in Vienna correctly mapped. > > Regards, Many thanks for the nice review of your Austrian experience ☺.
