OpenStreetMap has always been about mapping physical and observable
features in the world.
Never about legal rules applying to a country. And even though speed limits
to roads are determined by the country, they are specifically bound to
"highway", not a general rule for "everything" in that country.
Unless this is added to OSM, like Xavier is already mentioning, Osmand
cannot get it out of OSM. OSM would require some extension on admin_level=2
for country borders.
However, it would be extremely simple to make OsmAnd "vignette" aware
without even touching OSM or requiring a change in OSM.
OsmAnd does constant GPS requests during use and navigation. Based on the
GPS position, OsmAnd gets the info from the underlying map in which country
it is.
Osmand could very easily use a json file, a separate one or from its
internal assets, to read if it is in a "vignette" country and add the
routing restrictions for it.
The json would simply be something like:
{
"AT": { "vignette_required": true },
"CH": { "vignette_required": true },
"CZ": { "vignette_required": true },
"DE": { "vignette_required": false }
< .... snip .... >
"NL": { "vignette_required": false }
< .... snip .... >
}
"Someone" should bring this to the developers, if it is that important to
that "someone". ;)
