In route details screen show count of stiles, kissing gates and similar obstacles, and more information about stairs

[mikehgentry]

Stiles and kissing gates are of huge importance to cyclists, and adding them to route details would be very appreciated.

Currently you give stairs in meters traversed, and it seems to me to make more sense to give number of stairs instead (or perhaps both). In bike navigation, it'd be really helpful to distinguish stairs with and without bike ramps. Distinguishing stairs (up) and stairs (down) would probably be useful too.

Thanks!

Couple of other minor points: currently you have a heading "Road type" which isn't really exactly right anyway (many of the things it lists aren't roads) so I don't see it as an issue listing other diverse things under there. Maybe you could change it from "Road type" to "Classification" for accuracy.

And if it that sounds like too much information, maybe you could have aggregate numbers for that screen (e.g. "Stairs:" and "Obstacles:", and give a breakdown by type if you tap on it? The stairs would probably make sense as a table, with Up / Down / Total columns and With ramp / Without ramp / Total rows, or something similar.

Komoot shows nice warnings about sections with possible obstacles, maybe OsmAnd could do something similar. A list with obstacles (steps, required dismounting etc.) would be nice. Tapping on them should move the map to their position.

With stiles and kissing gates it's not even a question of dismounting, you usually have to lift the bike over. Depending on the weight of the bike / mobility issues, this can be literally impossible, so I think it's a very important warning to give when planning a route. Same applies to stairs, especially ascending without ramps.
