I added an entrance at Node: 13484582195 | OpenStreetMap
Does it have any effect on routing when simply selecting the building? (I’m aware that each of the 3 routers on OSM works a bit differently and takes time to update). Ideally routing would lead there and not anywhere else around the building.
There is no info on Tag:entrance=main
Historically it hasn’t been routing per se that’s the challenge, but geocoding. A router would generally just find the best route between two pairs of co-ordinates. It’s the role of the geocoder to turn your text input into co-ordinates.
But Nominatim (the best-known router) has recently added support for entrance nodes. So the task, I think, is for websites/apps which provide an interface to routing engines - and one of those sites is, of course, openstreetmap.org - to make use of this new feature. I’d be interested to hear of any such sites or apps which have done that.
Maybe I need to draw a footpath within the building.
If anyone is interested in implementing routing to entrances, please see this openstreetmap-website issue.
Interesting. Access for separate wheelchair entrances might need such tags.
I gave it a try with an internal area and connected this to the entrance at Way: 1471485439 | OpenStreetMap . Either it needs more tags or takes time to update to work.
