because you might want to in order to state where you want to go? Usually
people do this via addresses. Imagine a huge shopping mall, or a different
huge structure with several entrances (train station, theme park, nature
reserve, ...). For a shopping mall, you may want to go just to one store,
so the parking should be close (for pedestrians, not as the crow flies) to
this store, for example.

this is more complex than just the closest parking, your intentions may
have an impact on the kind of car park, e.g. if you go to the airport to
drop your friend off, you will typically want to drive in front of the
entrance, but if you are flying yourself and come by car, you will park on
a parking farer away from the entrances (long term parking), and if you are
going to pick someone up, you will go to the car park for short term
parking. (I wrote "airport", but it is the same situation with different
terminals on bigger airports).




And dont troll me with "add a footway" - A footway is not in the
routable graph for cars and will not even be in the database when
looking for the nearest point.

Router can use footway data to select good dropoff point.
And other info like parkings.


+1, just because something is not "naturally" in the routing graph does not
mean, the information could not be used during the preprocessing to create
navaid points. We must not necessarily provide the information explicitly,
if it could be computed from inherent information.

Cheers,
Martin
