Re: [Talk-us] Mtb Route Relations

[Nathan Hartley]

 Following this thread.

I have the same question, after recently moving the names that folks had
added to the way (and bridge) segments, of a linear park spanning lower
Michigan, to the relations representing the trail segment. The entire trail
is known as " The Great Lake-to-Lake Trails" [image: relation]
 7962984
, whereas it has segments known by other
names. For instance, 22 miles are also known as the "Mike Levine Lakelands
Trail State Park" [image: relation]
 272564
. I felt this was the most accurate way to
map this trail. However, the temptation is strong to "map for the
renderer", after seeing the trail names disappear from the rendered map
.

I have seen where many area specific Wiki pages will have a "potential
source of import data" section. Recently, I ran across a Wiki page that
attempted to catalog this type of information, for locations around the
world, in one place.

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Potential_Datasources


Here are two sites that I know about, which have also been added to the
Potential_Datasources page:

The State of Michigan

North Country National Scenic Trail
