If not, then OSMAnd would have to have some other dataset (which may
not exist except by paying the local governments fees for their data)
that indicated when/where vignettes were charged, and on what roads,
before it could offer an "avoid vignette" option for routing.
I would go further and say that for data that can reasonably be in OSM,
then it should be,
While I would agree, OSMAnd can only request OpenStreetMap add the data
if it is missing. And a quick search of the OpenStreetMap wiki shows
only sporadic occurrences of the word vignette, none of which appear to
be related to storing "vignette" information in the actual map. So the
OpenStreetMap community would need to add the data before it would be
available from the OSM dataset.
and osmand should use it.
Once available, yes. But OSMAnd can not make use of data it does not
yet have.
Having a workaround is just extra work without solving the long-term
problem of open data.
Yes. Ralph might be best advised to post a question/comment on an OSM
forum local to one of the countries with vignettes asking why such
facts do not seem (to the extent of my very limited search) to be
recorded in the OSM map data. It would seem that such facts would be
just as important to record as speed limits and/or weight/height limits
on the roads in the map.
