Direction API isn't able to find some hiking routes #731

Closed zugspitze closed 4 years ago

zugspitze commented 4 years ago

I am trying to find a hiking route from Watzmannhaus (a mountain hut in Bavaria) [47.571952, 12.933108] to Watzmann (second highest mountain in Germany) [47.54916, 12.917093]. This hiking route is very famous and well known. The requested url is: here

Response: {"error":{"code":2010,"message":"Could not find point 1: 12.9169970 47.5479260 within a radius of 350.0 meters."},"info":{"engine":{"version":"6.1.0","build_date":"2020-05-25T04:51:11Z"},"timestamp":1590400934738}}

Expectations: A hiking route without error.

Thanks for reaching out! The route is not found because the path between Hocheck and Watzmann is tagged with sac_scale=demanding_alpine_hiking, whereas ORS considers only trails up to T4 in terms of sac scale. See also https://github.com/GIScience/openrouteservice/issues/600#issuecomment-551053727.

@aoles Thanks for quick response. Is there an option to enable T5/T6 routing as well?

aoles commented 4 years ago

You're welcome. Unfortunately, there is such option available currently. As indicated in #600 I believe this might be implemented eventually, but not in the foreseeable future.
