This option is 'restricted' only for special cars, like ratrack (snow machine, snowcat, snowmobile, snow groomer in the mountains).
It is very useful. -
Have You ever been in the mountains? There are tracks, footpaths, ... and sometimes steps.
-
Well we try our best. At the moment there is navigation for bikes and
pedestrians also. So steps can be usefull if you're on a holiday and
walking anround a city you have never visited before :-). The solution
is probably to have more categories but that will take time and is not
an instant answer. -
I think I'm finally beginning to understand, hooray =)) !
There is no difference between car, pedestrian and bicycle: what is important is only what type of road is checked/unchecked, am I right?
OK, it is certainly not very intuitive, but why not. More road types and more clearer road types is a must than. Steps shouldn't be in the same category as tracks, right? There are eight categories for roads accesible by car (why so many?) and only one for the rest!
I really like this nifty feature of Navigator (that the user has an impact on priorities of routing), it is what makes Navigator so exceptional =D> . So I am looking forward to any improvemnts!

Look at this way in Potlatch:and its restrictions:In this editor motor vehicles profil is 'unset'.
Changing it give You better routing.I founded (steps) stairs with restrictions keys:and routing goes:-with The Last Roads:-without one:So restrictions are important in routing ... on a snowy day. -
@PrzemekSupak steps by default implies access=no, foot=yes see http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Steps so they shouldnt be passable by default neither by car neither by bicycle.

IMHO it is O.K., and great feature - by default 'Other Roads' are disabled, but if You know what You do, You can enable it, but please be carefully.The same is with footpath - setting departure or destination, on the footpath, it is possible to route through restricted area.But, as You see above, routing is not possible, if there are additional key(s) - restrictions.As an example, I gave You routing in the mountains, snowy (snow-covered) track and stairs.

Przemek you are rigth! Cars cannot pass steps if there is an aditional key motor_vehicle=no! Its great! So the problem is a wrong import of steps by Mapfactor??
@tomas There are 9 now, I think 8 is enough:- Motorway, trunk
- Primary
- Secondary
- Terciary
- unclassified, residential, service
- track
- bicycle designated (cykleway...)
- pedestrian designated (footpath, steps, sidewalks...)
-
10. ... and of course sea maps, with different map projection, for kayak, canoe, small boats, yachts ...
-
And just today I experienced steps are also allowed for bycicle. Three steps down one can do with bycicle but 10+ steps up? Okay you could carry your bike, what I didn't want to do.
But on the other hand I never would have used the proposed route without Navigator, but I find, except those steps it is a very smart route. I will use that in the future just avoiding the steps.

OldieOops, when I checked that yesterday....Your computer knows the future!(edit)I think, that additional Key - restrictions, has stronger priority, than derivative of another Key.

Tule wrote: unclassified, service and residential roads are together by now. And I think there i really not much practical difference betwen them.I dont think so having a deeper look to http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:highwayunclassified and service should be parted. unclassified is a "low-level"-road but allowed für every kind of traffic.service are access roads to targets or within special areas like industrial estate, camp site, business park, car park, parking areas etc. To provide routing through, if the target is not reachable only this way, service should be parted from unclassified. Putting it together with track could be reasonable, because tracks also should be routed only, if the target isn't reachable through other ways and it's allowed for the kind of vehicle.So we can provide routing through parking or industrial areas on service-roads as I got it sometimes, because they were some meters shorter than the official road and or without maxspeed.That happened for example here http://osm.org/go/0DKkpjnq5-- routing from roundabout in North to Parkstraße in South.

I just found that thread http://forum.mapfactor.com/discussion/5862/road-types-navigator-12-vs-osmand I think this discussion should be continued there, because now we dont talk about steps but road restrictions at all.
Howdy, Stranger!
