A vehicle bridge (The Mackinaw Bridge in Michigan, USA) is open to pedestrians and bicycles one day per year. I’d like to route my planned annual walk but the engine won’t allow a waypoint on the bridge. A vehicular map does not allow for movement across the lanes or reversing direction on the bridge, which pedestrians are allowed to do.
Is there a method to override these restrictions for the purpose of generating this one map?
as a poor soul from MI… your “mak a nak” is silly..
GraphHopper is an awesome app, that gets great updates from OSM from other countries.
For example, the OSM from Germany can tell you the tree at the SW corner of an intersection… But the OSM in America is less than useless…. (wrong bridge restrictions, overhead restrictions wrong, etc)
Trucking companies here want 14K/mo for data for bridge restrictions, etc.
You can go edit the OSM yourself…. but will you?
let’s setup a group of 50K users who update the OSM for free here?
Well, that is a big part of my question.
If there is a mechanism in Graphhopper to bypass the restriction, then I would prefer to do that, since any errors on my part would only affect my own routing. If modifying/editing the OSM is the only mechanism for implementing such an exception, then I will have to learn to do that, and everyone else may have to contend with any errors I introduce to the system.
As a long-term developer of exotic software, I always try to limit the consequences of any changes I make.
