My problem for 1. is that changing the dropdown doesn't update the map
alone, without hitting the button. Hitting the button also zooms, so it
isn't the same as what I expected. Non-ajax web sites do what marble
does, but I would expect AJAX sites and offline programs to update when
you change such a dropdown.


And for 2., in Germany, people bike everywhere... I don't think there
are many paths that aren't also for bicycles, but the map has very many
dotted red lines and very few blue ones. So the data seems to be way
off, or someone's interpretation of walkway includes bicycles, but
Marble considers them to exclude bicycles.

In Germany, they banned the Google street view ;) so I can't show you
examples. But the sign that says you need to get off your bike doesn't
appear on that road. The sign is the rightmost one here (which I think I
probably never saw on an actual path; maybe it is more common in a
bigger city):

And even if that sign did appear, a person would rather bike to the
sign, and walk a bit, and get back on the bike, rather than go the long
way.

And I disagree with hiding footpaths when you have bicycle selected. If
you did that, then people wouldn't know what other options there are
when the given route is bad, like in my case. If this is what you change
it to, then I will never select "bicycle" and use "pedestrian" always.
