Is it possible to add your own custom properties for routino?

[Robertart98]

Sorry, I know this question is not directly about qmapshack, but I would love to know if any of the developers of this project who worked with routino, could help me with this question, since the documentation is somewhat sparse.

I have implemented routino into my app and my goal is to add custom tags to my osm data. For example "customHikingWay". And then target these custom properties im my profiles.xml to prioritize routing over my own ways. I've tried using the tagging.xml to expose the osm tag as a property but nothing seems to work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry again, if its inappropriate to ask in this forum, I just couldn't find any information about that while researching.

I integrated the lib just as is. I think the best option you have is to contact the author of Routino. Ages ago, when I integrated the stuff I emailed him and he was quite supportive. So give it a try.

Hi Robert, as I am maintaining "own" osm data too, although for cycling, I found yours a very interesting approach. Have you been able to make any progress already?

Hi flixmart,

the author of routino answered and told me that routino doesn't support custom properties out of the box. But you can either re-use one of the given properties, like paved, for your own purposes or change the source code.

If you reuse a property, you need to change the profiles.xml, tagging.xml and possibly translations.xml and the HTML for the web pages.

I personally went with the "change source code" way by manually adding new properties. It's somewhat tedious but seems to be working. There's space for two more properties, because as is the properties must fit within 8 bits (although I expanded the bit mask for my use case).

Hope this helps!

Hi Robert, thanks for the update and the heads up (...seems to be working). I will try to look into it asap.
