OsmAnd strange routing

[damian....@gmail.com]

Hello,

I noticed a problem with routing in OsmAnd:

Having this trip:

https://www.openstreetmap.org/directions?engine=fossgis_osrm_car&route=46.5186%2C15.6506%3B46.5219%2C15.6483#map=18/46.52022/15.64942

OsmAnd calculated something like this:

OsmAnd version 3.1.10 from f-droid

The streets which osmand is using, does NOT have a maxspeed, whereas the street, which is going straight on and might be prefered by user has a maxspeed of 70 km/h.
So in the calculation of osmand the first mentioned route looks like faster.

do you understand, that osmand is only as good as the maps that are made by the users themselves?

and, yes: you should never switch brains of while driving and using navigation-HELP, i.e. osmand.

Personally I use osmand for biking and hiking. For car navigation Google Maps ist king.

It looks like there is a turn restriction missing. The hard left turn from one slip road to the other is probably not legitimate, but the map doesnt include a restriction to prevent it.

about with the date/time of the first posting of daminan a turn restriction (no left turn) was added.

I updated the maps and the problem is fixed :)

Thank you for explaining :)

That's great. Just make sure you're mapping genuine restrictions not just ones that seem likely or help osmand make the right choice.
