That's the things that should be mapped - the facts. Recently I was thinking about that it may be possible to create a program that will calulate a cycling route for you based on those facts from the database and your preferences. Maybe the result maybe rated by the users and those rates are used in calculations. As a cyclist myself I understand the reason for such a proposal, but such marking will be highly subjective and I would prefer to have more objective facts about my route in the database and then make my decision, some automatic tools may help me with this. -- Anton Martchukov http://www.martchukov.com 0xFC4FBF28 96BC 3DAB 231A 7FCC 4F49 D783 9A69 65C1 FC4F BF28 _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
