OpenStreetMap
How do you solve a problem like this?
Posted by backpacking philippines on 27 January 2011 in English.whenever I try to route out of Makati from my office bldg, I had already passed by the corner of Velasquez and Tordesillas to crosss to Sanchez St before my Nuvi can home in due to tall buildings around me. Since I'd like to perfect routing in Makati, evidenced by my recent edits here and there, this corner I remembered to just conduct a simple routing test on Mapsource.
on OSM, it won't route you to simply cross and would point a roundabout route to get to the other side when actually you can just turn a little to left (just a little since Tordesillas is a one way street) then cross to Sanchez
I tried to look it up over Bing but noticed hi-res Bing imagery is misaligned and the buildings quite slanted to a certain angle.
Should I just join the two corners to connect them or turn a short segment of Tordesillas into a two-way street?

Some nice mapping there! Not sure where you're trying to route exactly. Maybe you can post a CloudMade routing URL such as: http://maps.cloudmade.com/?lat=14.556991&lng=121.023588&zoom=18&directions=14.557971884196188,121.0226172208786,14.556632295881698,121.02531552314758&travel=foot&styleId=1&opened_tab=1 (use the 'share' button)

My personal preference is to make that short segment of Tordesillas a two-way street. As you said in your changeset comment, Velasquez and Sanchez do not exactly meet in an intersection and I've seen this myself.
But this is just my opinion. Not a biggie problem. :-)
