indicate ferry parts of route

[emiltin]

just like pushing of bikes should be indicated with a different color on the route, it might be useful to indicate ferries and trains on the route?

[rodo]

It's related to https://github.com/DennisOSRM/Project-OSRM/issues/282 by now there is no information in the JSON output

[emiltin]

also related to indicating stretches where you push a bike

[Stalfur]

The text field should really say it is by ferry, the first 200 meters in step 10 in this route are by ferry but that is not indicated in the text field itself.

Perhaps it should be split up so "10. 200 meters by ferry" would be displayed.

[emiltin]

The travel mode is already send to the front end. On www.ibikecph.dk we use this to tell the user where the bike should be pushed, and when you're going with a ferrry.

[Stalfur]

So this is a problem on OSM.org with display?

[Stalfur]

According to https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/issues/1000 then OSRM itself doesn't publish ferry details?

The problem is that the instruction gets merged with a longer segment after it because there is no turn and the street name is the same.

Update as of v5.5:

http 'http://router.project-osrm.org/route/v1/driving/23.4224,-19.9861;22.4209,-18.8167?steps=true'

The ferry is both in the request as well as the frontend:

http://map.project-osrm.org/?z=15&center=-18.276363%2C21.788034&loc=-19.987781%2C23.422769&loc=-18.816679%2C22.420885&hl=en&alt=0

Here's the ferry in OSM: http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/26829633#map=15/-18.2743/21.7889

(Also check the satellite imagery there, it's beautiful)

Closing here as resolved.

[emiltin]

does ferries have a destination? e.g. "take the DFDS Line towards Oslo"

[daniel-j-h]

@emiltin at least not on the way http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/route=ferry#combinations some people seem to code it into the name as in

Ferry XA  A <-> B
