I've recently finished collecting all the different bits of the South Downs Way into a large route relation: http://www.openstreetmap.org/api/0.5/relation/5881 . I've tagged the bicyclist's route rather than the walker's route - there are at least 4 places to my knowledge where it divides (even going so far as to have separate horse, bicycle and foot sections through the Queen Elizabeth Country Park). Unfortunately I didn't get it all done before the most recent update of the cycle map, but it should appear next time 'round: http://www.gravitystorm.co.uk/osm/?zoom=10&lat=6589695.19199&lon=-50296.19283&layers=B00
I've tagged it as per the guidelines on http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Relations/Proposed/Routes#Cycle_Routes_in_Use and http://www.gravitystorm.co.uk/shine/cycle-info/ The entire relation is tagged with the regional cycle route reference (89) and I've removed the tag from any members (this wasn't quite as simple as removing any rcn_ref or ref as that would have affected A and B roads and other RCN routes (i.e. 90)). I've also removed the South Downs Way name from a few unclassified/tertiary/higher-order highways - I considered removing it from bridleways and byways but that would be detract from the normal mapnik and osmarendered layers, at least until they display routes with names. I'm not sure how to approach the separate walker/rider sections: either collect together only the sections that differ, or make three large, almost identical relations that span the entire SDW from the perspective of walker, horse-rider and cyclist. Suggestions and complaints welcome ;) - Dan (Norky) _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
