[OSM-talk] Questions regarding the mapping of hiking trails
Hi, I've started contributing hiking data in the ADK, NY. However, I have a few questions : Let's take the following area, for instance : http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=44.1458988189697lon=-73.9613342285156zoom=13 1/ There is a trail called Van Hoevenberg Trail. Am I supposed to add a name=Van Hoevenberg property, or name=Van Hoevenberg Trail one ? 2/ Now, let's say that Van hoevenberg trail were continuing after the intersection. Would I be supposed to just repeat the name=Van Hoevenberg Trail property, or am I supposed to do something smarter ? I read stuff about relations, but I am unsure on whether this applies to this... 3/ Anything else to suggest ? thanks !

At first, just add name=Van Hoevenberg Trail. A relation could be used here, and can be done later. For a small trail it would be overkill 3/ Anything else to suggest ? Enjoy mapping thanks !

Also, the name Van Hoevenburg Trail doesn't necessarily mean that it passes through the Van Hoevenburg Property. That might be the name of the current land-owner, the name of a former land-owner, or simply the name of some notable person whom the trail was named after. -- John F.
