Ferry Crossing Troon - Brodick (Arran) is missing

The Ferry Crossing from Troon to Brodick (Arran) will not be selected by kurviger.

I think it is blocked because a lot of the roads in the port are tagged with access=private. As far as I understand @boldtrn it should be tagged as “customers”:

Currently I can not change them myself (doing that touch device is very uncomfortable, and there are several roads to change) - perhaps someone using a PC / MAC can do that, or I can do it later.

Correct, if the road is accessible if you have a ticket customers would be the correct tagging :slight_smile:.

@AlexandraWinter : Tagging the roads in the port with access=customers was ok, but it takes a few days until Kurviger takes over the changes.
If you go to “Settings” and scroll down, you see the timestamp of OSM data:


Another note on ferries, if you have No Tolls selected in Avoidances then ferries will be excluded. I believe that No Tolls should still allow ferries unless people do not understand that most ferries are not free?

Thanks for the information, I didn’t exclude ferries in kurviger.

Thas correct but the roads through the terminal will not be selected.

I know, I was referring to the No Tolls Avoidances.

This is not correct, this will exclude ferries that are tagged with toll=yes. This is currently a bit weird and should be improved in the future. Most ferries should still be used as the toll=yes is not that common on ferries, but this really depends on the area.

Thank you for the clarification. I ran into this in Scotland and apparently there are several ferries tagged as toll=yes.

Hello everyone in here. I changed the roads in openstreetmap an now the route is calculated as wanted. Thank for your supprt
