✕ How does it work? The GPX file is read in your browser and never uploaded anywhere. The track is then compared against roads fetched straight from two public services: the Overpass API for OpenStreetMap, and the Estonian road registry (Teeregister ) through the Maa-amet map service.
A stretch is reported when the track stays within 15 m of a flagged road for at least 40 m. Merely crossing a road does not count. Overlapping results from both sources are shown as one row. Teeregister findings are purple, OpenStreetMap findings red, on the map and in the list alike.
What the categories mean Category Source Meaning mitteavalik (not public) Teeregister The road registry lists the road as not open for public use. This is the strongest signal. eratee (private road) Teeregister Classified as a private road. It may still be publicly usable if a contract or act says so. metsatee (forest road) Teeregister Classified as a forest road, typically owned by RMK or a private forest owner. eraomand (private land) Teeregister The land under the road is privately owned. Says nothing about whether the road is open. OSM access=private OpenStreetMap Mapped in OpenStreetMap as private. OSM access=no OpenStreetMap Mapped in OpenStreetMap as no access. Foot or bicycle access may still be allowed by other tags. OSM vehicle/bicycle restricted OpenStreetMap Vehicles or bicycles are tagged private or no in OpenStreetMap while general access is not.
In Estonia a road classified as eratee can still be open to everyone when a contract or a municipal act allows public use, so treat mitteavalik as the reliable signal and the others as hints. Neither source is complete, and this is not legal advice.
For foot and cycling traffic, KeÜS § 33 (3) allows it on private roads if it is based on common custom and not burdensome to the owner, while excluding roads on yards.
