I would tend to use the name as signed as a priority, with relations used to associate related trails. The relations themselves can serve as an alternate nameholder. I don't use name_1 - I’m not sure if any map consumer uses it. Tiger encodes name_1 as a way of getting multiple names into the database. But the more common alternate tags in the name key are a better way to record multiple names http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:name ( loc_name , alt_name, etc) _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
