if you put a waypoint on a blocked link then this could happen
is it android or windows verison?

it works for me
is the link coloured differently after closure?

very strange, please email disabled_links.xml and routing_points.xml to support

Which kind of vehicle (oder auch Fahrzeugtyp) are you using?

When I try this with pedestrian (Fußgänger), the blocked part of the road is being used, so the block doesn't work. But vehicle typ = Car the blocked road is not used, an other way is calculated.

(Das hätte ich jetzt lieber in deutsch erklärt...)

So, I think, the vehicle type is the reason for using or not using the blocked road.

I've checked the blocked road, which is used, when navigating as Pedestrian. In this case, the blocking doesn't work. in case of car the blocking works fine.

The checked road has only the following attributes in OSM:

Way: 46102133
highway: residential
name: Högdener Weg

And that's all. No footpath or bikelane.

First of all: my route was calculated for vehicle type car instead, I swear ;-)

But I can confirm what tomas said earlier: when I select another part of the road to block, the calculation will suggest another route - just like it should.

Crocodilefarm tested OSM in another part of Germany, so I will have a look at "my" street tonight and fix it.

I am very happy to see that the software actually works as expected. That's really meant as compliment for you guys because before your app, I have tested two other - and commercial! - navigation apps, but yours really works better. And I very appreciate your support here :-)

 

Just to confirm what has happened regarding my case:
In OSM, there are two parallel streets: one as motorway, one as cycleway. Actually both lines are good to distinguish as they are not too close together - in OSM.
In navigator free, both lines are displayed much wider than in reality. Effect: they appear to lay above each other.
When I marked my street as blocked, I unintentionally selected the cycleway.

Can you think of any possiblity to prevent such false marking?
Suggestion: When I select a road and click on the "Edit" pen above, window "Link Parameter" opens. It would be nice to see an information what kind of road this is as it is tagged in OSM.

So I tested the map editor ...

My idea was not to change the cycleway line color, but to reduce its width (thickness) only - without changing the major road.
Unfortunately this does not solve my problem: when major road and cycleway are too close, even in highest zoom level the major road will overlap the cycleway completely.

Is there a chance to display a certain line type above all others and display it e.g. dotted? I tried dotted as style pattern, but without any success (no error message, just no effect).
