This is a "MotionspÄr" area with several short to medium length tracks aimed individually at joggers/runners, health walkers, mountain bikers and sometimes cross-country skiers, often with way-markers showing the sport? There is really nothing similar in the UK so it needs a bit of new creativity. I suggest extending the sport= tag to ways as you describe (that is what I do now): highway=footway sport=jogging To show up on the map right now, I do this: highway=footway sport=jogging name=jogging track (Sorry, my Swedish does not yet extend to "jogging track"!). I leave the name in lower case to distinguish it from "real" names. Else, you need to propose a specific set of MotionspÄr sport names and how they'd be rendered when encountered. May be a bit complicated for now? Mike _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
