Four. Mountain biking routes also get rendered. In green. On a green background. I know, I know. http://opencyclemap.org/?zoom=12&lat=52.55189&lon=-3.80213&layers=B000 Also missing is international cycle networks, but IMHO they don't really exist separately from NCNs, so I've not been rushing to render them until other higher-priority stuff gets sorted. > Really, the National Byway is a fourth category: a leisure/touring > route.

It's also worth pointing out that the n in ncn, lcn and rcn is clearly the wrong thing to have done, since the routes don't need to be part of a network - they should be route=ncr. Also, in the UK we have one specific network called (perhaps self-importantly?) "*THE* National Cycle Network", which leads to confusion. route=ncn should be used for any signed cycling route with national scope/importance regardless of Sustran's involvement. So the National Byway should be route=ncn, except that it's not a cycling network, it's a byway network. As Richard said earlier, I'll get round to rendering it at some point when the system upgrade is complete.
