Hi Glenn, To be clear: I didn't mean merging datasets, but just drawing the axes from the GRB WMS. I'm asking this question because I'm looking at pedestrian routing through the pedestrian zone in Ghent. Say we take Poeljemarkt / Emile Braunplein and Sint-Baafsplein as an example. A route planner seems to guide you along the edges of the pedestrian area or make a detour along highways that are already in OSM, e.g. like this [1]. If you look at the GRB map [2], you see that Agiv has drawn road axes through (most of) these squares/areas. Of course, there are endless possible ways to cross a square (but also some impossible ways). However, the road axes in the GRB usually seem to be a "logical" or often used way. When adding these axes to OSM, the routing algorithm could "snap" to them, like in this example: [3]. I added the road axes in this example myself, but afterwards wondered whether I should continue doing this, hence my email. Maybe this is too much mapping for the renderer/router?

See http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Belgium/GRB What is the added value in your view ?
