How to get from A to B by bicycle? #OrganicMaps: “Take this door.” 🤡 (Edit: Route suggested by OrganicMaps - not OSM, which provided only the data.)

@kernpanik@chaos.social OpenStreetMap doesn't have any routing or navigation. It only has data. Which tool told you that route, and where on OSM is the door?

@kernpanik@chaos.social Works, as long as B is the nearest hospital.

@kernpanik@chaos.social Yeah, OpenStreetMap is just a nicer frontend for Google (TM) Maps.

@kernpanik@chaos.social mind sharing A and B? Asking for a friend. 😉

@kernpanik@chaos.social btw consider switching to @CoMaps@floss.social which is the community fork of Organic maps and probably where most the development will happen

@kernpanik@chaos.social to be fair, a lot of bike infrastructure _is_ like this. Here’s the official bike route! But you do need to get down and walk for a few meters and are not allowed to actually bike here

@kernpanik@chaos.social can you share the place? Maybe there's some data to fix.
