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".

Re: Map that visualises cobble stone

Thank you all for this thread - I've got the same question myself. The routing file by Pieter Vander Vennet indeed added an option to avoid cobblestone roads. However the question of the OP remains open about how to see these roads within OSMAND. Hence I made an updated render file for that, feel free to use if anybody needs it. I used the Touring view as I like it for bicycle but you can apply the same changes in other render styles. My updates are at the bottom of the file.

The file needs to be placed in storage\Android\data\net.osmand.plus\files\rendering\ where "storage" is the corresponding storage in your phone and ".plus" to be skipped in case of free version of OSMAND
