Yep that looks like it figures. I'll have to set up either a local 'http:' copy of the data or a proxy as you suggest. Shame though, because both of these make it harder for a 'mashup artist' to use relations and render them on top of a slippy map. Still doesn't work, and I don't speak

Of course, you can just grab the relation file into the same dir as the html and request it from the current directory. A cron job could update the file reasonably frequently without putting much further load on the main API server each time somebody views the page. On 6/26/08, [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Wow, I'm totally jealous of the landscape. However, I don't think marking these as routes is appropriate. For cycle routes we have the rough description that Cycle routes are named or numbered or otherwise signed routes, which may go along roads or dedicated cycle paths. . I don't see anything

Something I keep toying with is the idea of facilitating mashups (did I really just say that?) by giving masher-uppers a way to tie their routes to OSM IDs. If you plot a favourite walk on a Google Map, you're effectively just drawing lines and points on a flat map. There's no tie-up with the
