It seems PTV doesn't see the new road and directs through an old one

Hello again,

There is a route from Kalvarija LT to Orzysz PL and it seems a part of route S61 PTV does not "see" and redirects to the old one. Truck should stay on S61 (marked in green).

I found an article that says that a part of the S61 a bit more to the South was only opened in August 2023 and that more is being built.

Although it seems open now according to other providers there are reasons why it is not open in our map:
  • Our map data provider needs to have that road in their data.
  • We need to process the map data for our products and engines which also takes some time.
So, I assume that there was unfortunate timing and that with the next map from PTV the road should be available for usage.

Thanks for your feedback, Max!

If a "new" road geometry is visible in a map but the road does not appear in the route response then this is often because the official date of "road is now available to the public" interferes with the map's availability, e.g. "map is supposed to be used between 1.7.2023 and 1.1.2024" and "road is opened on 1.8.2023" we have to decide how to proceed:
  • model the road as closed : wrong for users who deal with the map after 1.8.2023
  • model the road as opened : wrong for users who deal with that map before 1.8.2023
I forwarded this thread to some data expert for a feedback...

PS: reminds me of viewtopic.php?p=2727#p2727

Feedback from Thorsten:
If you refer to the 2024.1H map then the data has been provided through HERE and the highway is flagged as "under construction".
In the 2024.2H map the route takes the highway.
The 2024.2H map is supposed to be available march 2024.
