Even if it's not "on the ground"? Seems easier for the mappers/routers to go through a preprocessing stage where they rename all cycleways in Germany from "highway=cycleway" to "highway=german_cycleway", than to expect mappers to redundantly tag like that. Kind of like the whole is_in fiasco. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
