Map that visualises cobble stone

None of the renderings of OpenStreetMap that I could find indicate the road surface in any way, even though this is a really relevant factor when choosing which roads to cycle on.

Is there any map that renders the road surface, specifically whether a road is made of cobble stone?

Pieter Vande Vennet describes in his diary how you can tweak the OsmAnd engine to avoid sett roads: https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Piet … iary/42673

I also thought OsmAnd can display the different types of road surfaces

Hi,

For routing with surface information I can propose you OpenRouteService - here is a link with some route in Poland: https://maps.openrouteservice.org/direc … n-US&k2=km (shorter link: http://bit.ly/2p9Cx62). There you can enable preview surface on whole route as I did on this image: .

Yes, it can do so. But the default.render.xml shows that cobblestone, concrete, sett, pebbles, and some more are shown in the same color. In order to show cobblestone differently, you have to create your own rendering style overwriting the renderingAttribute "surfaceCobblestoneColor".
