| Nov 29, 2013 at 11:40 | comment | added | Relaxed | @hippietrail The app/website do have a “transports” section for each country that typically mentions these things, but only as text (and with the rules that apply to French citizens), e.g. for Armenia: “Les postes frontières ouverts sont ceux avec la Georgie et l’Iran” (i.e. the borders with Turkey or Azerbaijan are closed). Also, under “Sécurité”, “Les frontières avec la Turquie et l’Azerbaïdjan sont fermées du fait du conflit du Haut-Karabagh, malgré le cessez-le-feu signé en 1994.” | |
| Feb 3, 2013 at 11:15 | comment | added | hippietrail | Here's an example: I'm trying what adventure to have on my next trip in maybe ten or twelve months from now. I'd like to go to Mongolia and I'd like to go to the Hunza Valley in Pakistan. And I'd like to start by flying from Australia to Korea. Now I want to travel everything except ocean crossing overland (well no flying). So when looking at all the unusual ways to get between those countries there's surely some borders closed. So I want to rule out routes that are impossible due to closed borders. On my previous trips I found that the Turkey/Armenia and Armenia/Azerbaijan borders are shut... | |

But I don't understand your use case, how do you plan your trips? What's the granularity of your routes? You want to know the relationships between 2 neighbouring countries or you want to know which border station to go to? | |
| Feb 3, 2013 at 6:17 | comment | added | hippietrail | Actually I'm not very interested in the safety of countries or regions, that information is pretty easy to find. Does this app have information on which borders are open and closed? You don't seem to mention this feature in your answer. | |
