Re: [Tagging] Route names being applied to tracks/paths

I agree with Mateusz here: whether to tag a way after the name of a route which includes it (if it didn't have a name=* tag beforehand) isn't a "one size fits all" situation. It's difficult to describe what the right thing to do is in all cases. > On Dec 29, 2022, at 11:18 PM, Mateusz Koniecz

Re: [Tagging] Route names being applied to tracks/paths

This does not apply everywhere, even if applies in some cases. Many trails are minor and their names are not actually names of roads/paths where they lead even if this road/path is nameless. In Poland even for https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C5%82%C3%B3wny_Szlak_Beskidzki it is debatable whether

Re: [Tagging] Route names being applied to tracks/paths

+1 If the only name is the route name I think it makes good sense to put it on the local way too, that's the name of the trail. Brad On 12/29/22 08:59, Zeke Farwell wrote: I've heard the assertion that a way has no name but the route that passes over it does many times.  While this is true in

Re: [Tagging] How to tag a point-of-interest sign

I think you should check your data.   Looking at USGS topo, that point does look very close to the continental divide. Usually, but I suppose not always,  when you go over the divide you are going over a pass.  This one seems to be fairly flat so perhaps never got named. I don't use mapillary, b

Re: [Tagging] Route names being applied to tracks/paths

I know this problem from cycle routes. Individual ways that are part of a hiking or cycling route should normally not carry the name of the route. First because in most cases it will be factually wrong, but also such invented names will make it difficult to find ways with genuinly missing names in

Re: [Tagging] How to tag a point-of-interest sign

I have now checked on Gmaps: that sign is not on the continental divide, but it is announcing the continental divide. About 175m further there is an identical sign on the other side of the road, and facing the opposite direction. Hence there is a pass, but the highest point itself is not marked. I

Re: [Tagging] Route names being applied to tracks/paths

I have seen some paths which actually had the same name as the hiking trail running over it. Normally this is not the case, the path usually has is own local name or no name at all. So most of the time this would be an error, but you can't be sure without survey.Fr Gr Peter EldersonOp 29 dec. 2022

Re: [Tagging] Route names being applied to tracks/paths

It makes sense to me that each segment of a long distance walking/hiking route should be looked at individually. It might have no name (uses a section of a driveway), it might have a name of its own (the “San Clemente Beach Trail” near me is part of the long distance “California Coastal Trail”),

Re: [Tagging] Route names being applied to tracks/paths

I've heard the assertion that a way has no name but the route that passes over it does many times. While this is true in some cases, in others it is not. Where the primary purpose of the way is not for the route, this does make sense. For example mentioned by Jmapb where the Appalachian trail fo

The simpliest way to map a long route is to give the same name to every ways it is composed of. Then, in second position, you can also create a relation. Regards, Yves Le 29 décembre 2022 10:47:44 GMT+01:00, Warin <61sundow...@gmail.com> a écrit : >Hi, > >It appears that route name are being a

[Tagging] Route names being applied to tracks/paths

Hi, It appears that route name are being applied to track/path names, I believe this comes about due to signs that state the route names and point along the track/path that appear to the name of the track/path. For example Way 228853104 https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/228853104#map=15/37.8
