Routing on OSM streets marked as highway=track (feature request) #301
Description
Hi dear developers,
I am very surprised about the qualities of your online routing engine at http://map.project-osrm.org/ . Unfortunately, the routing still does not occur on streets mapped in the OSM database as highway=track. In the Brazilian city of Itapetinga where I live and map for OSM, http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-15.24978&lon=-40.26453&zoom=16&layers=M (and many other cities in developing countries), the reality is that many residential streets of the outskirts which already have names are still unpaved and in so bad conditions that they cannot being tagged as highway=residential, but as highway=track and tracktype=grade2.
Even so it is very interesting to have routing data from these outskirts too, as it was already done by cloudmade (unfortunately, cloudmade stopped to update its routing database). Thats why I would like to suggest to extend the routing service also to other highway categories as like as tracks, stairs etc., together with a panel where the users can choose the means of transport.
I almost do not believe that I am the first one which requests this feature, but I could not find any issue talking about tracks. If there is already a similar feature request, Í want to apologize for my ignorance and please let me know which issue it is.
Sincerely,
leodobrasil
