I do quite a few long-distance paths like this. By now everyone will have told you to use relations! You might also want to look at
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_United_Kingdom_Long_Distance_ Paths And edit to keep it up to date - it's a very useful summary. Mike Harris -----Original Message----- From: Trevor Hook [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 30 June 2009 12:56 To: Open Street Map Questions Subject: [OSM-newbies] Long Distance Hiking Routes I've started mapping the Ouse Valley Way which is a long distance path running through East Anglia but I've run into a problem. The route is using footpath/bridges etc which have already been named, when I go to name the route by selecting all the paths used by the route I've mapped so far, JOSM appears to be overwritting the name name of the individual components of the route (i.e. a bridge can only have 1 name tag but could have several routes running over it). How am I suppose to handle this situations? Select everything that makes up the route and name it Ouse Valley Way anyway?
