EuroVelo routes are not in a great state in OSM. Many of them appear to have been armchaired years ago when routes were "in development", and not updated since to reflect the correct route.
A handful of examples: [France] https://cycling.waymarkedtrails.org/#?map=12!49.2876!2.655 EV3 should follow the new cycleway along the Oise, not the busy D932a [Czech Republic] https://cycling.waymarkedtrails.org/#?map=11!49.9195!14.4621 EV7 is completely wrong in OSM from the south of Prague to Nahoruby, including unrideable tracks and a suggestion that cyclists use a “ferry” that in reality is a tourist boat that only operates at weekends [Spain] https://cycling.waymarkedtrails.org/#?map=13!41.9486!3.1467 EV8 now follows the Pirinexus alignment …and there are lots more. I realise people are preoccupied with tagwanking over relation tagging [1] and sorting [2] and editor snobbery [3], but there’s not a lot of point fretting over how pretty the tagging is on the route relation if the route is actually wrong in the first place. Could I encourage people to check the EuroVelo routes in their home countries and update them where necessary?
