routing problem
  • I am using navigator for android with the osm maps. It's working pretty good but sometimes i have routing problems. I can set start and endpoint and calculate a route. But when i switch start and endpoint no route can be calculated. The distance between start and end is only 2km . Has anybody else observed this behaviour?

  • please provide start and destination in lat/long
  • Below are two routes. "Ebi-Die" fails "Die-Ebi" works. The waypoints are disabled.

  • it looks that the the both roads from Industriestrasse are oneway streets, both towards Industriestrasse
    looks like error in OSM data
    it is the same on openstreetmaps.org

    if you are sure that it is incorrect, please edit it and it will be in the next update
  • thanks for analysis. In deed - the street which goes to the parking area should have arrows in both directions.

    How can i edit OSM data? I never did that.
  • you need to create account first
    find area you want to edit and then select edit tab and choose josm or potlach, I use potlach 2
    click on a street and you will see attributes on left
    I think you will need to chnge one way to one wa reverse


  • I just installed JOSM and tried to get familiar with it. After downloading the map data and browsing the version history that user znouz just did it. Are you znouz ?
  • yes, I tried it, but reversed my amedmends so that you can do it
  • hmm . when i look at the history and interpret it right the change is still present. It was done two times - last 19:42. Should i do anything else? Is this change then official? If not - who must it review and verify? How long does it take to go into the download map for mapfactor?
  • I corrected it and then reversed my corrections so that you can do it. Last time I saw it, both were the same way -  who corrected it later I do not know.
    In Navigator it will be in the next map release, probably in October
