For users who have tagged a low number of items I have done nothing more than reclassifying the ways. It should not be necessary to re-validate 3-4 thousand highway=road (only in Brazil) every year, or have a monthly task for cleaning up this. > Well your Garmin maps are under your control; you can choose to treat > highway=road as routable if you want to! I do. I currently download my Garmin map, so should I than open a ticket for the provider to consider routing on highway=road? What about my favourite online routing tool, which also doesn’t support routing on highway=road, should I open a ticket there as well? Will opening ticket on all of these third party providers solve my situation? Probably not. Wiki indicates that highway=road implies “FIXME=Need proper survey” and that the tag is for temporary use until classification can be determined. If the mapper have no intention of going there, than it is better to guess a value, so that the road can be routable. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
