Hey Janko Why do we need routes for waterways ? Do we tag them anywhere else on water ? Do we tag them on every highway ?
Do not mix signed routes for vehicles/foot and the puplic transport routes with this kind of router hint. I would propably use a relation to define the canal and leave the lake in between. The right properties of the waterways and the lake should be enough for routing. cu fly On 24.03.2014 15:36, Janko Mihelić wrote: > Wiki page about route relations[1] only has ferries for sea travel.
