Probably not, it most likely follows the ROW, with deviations here and there, so I would be inclined to create a new way showing the trail. +1 Even if the trail did exactly follow the pipeline one should create a separate way. Otherwise you'll get into trouble with the multiple tags, especially level=* One could also use relations but that would be overkill and prone to error.

[Talk-ca] Oil Pipeline?
Hi all, I am mapping around Lac Le Jeune in BC and a part of the area where we snowmobile in the winter is along the pipeline. An example of the area in question is: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=50.47171lon=-120.37725zoom=15layers=M On the map it doesn't show the pipeline (probably because it's layer is -1), however if you do an edit on the area it will show the pipeline. What's the best way to be able to show there is a trail where the pipeline is? Can I just add a highway/trail on top of the existing pipeline? Or? Thanks Steve (SRW) ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca

The pipeline shows up when you hit edit because the pipeline is in the database. You're just looking at a map rendering that doesn't display pipelines underground. I don't know of one that does personally, but it would be easy to create one. There's a lot of stuff in the database that doesn't get rendered on the default Mapnik map style. -- James VE6SRV ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
