no problem Thomas, I should be able to muddle my way through the German. The type of way I mean though is back roads which are designed for cars but you can cycle all day and see two pick-ups a tractor and 25 motorcycles. There's thousands of miles of these roads in Thailand that are fantastic for cycling (and many go between the same places as thundering eight-lane highways but in greater peace.)
They're not strictly cycleways but the problem with all mapping here for cyclists is they're not really covered anywhere on printed maps - although Yahoo and Google have them with mapped. The other thing I have - and being lazy here - is hundreds and hundreds of miles of irrigation canals, about 5-10m wide, with a paved tarmac road on one side and a dirt track on the other - a very familiar of the rice growing areas here. Is there a way to save a preset so I can draw these in one go. As it is I have to draw tarmac, road, canal and dirt road as three separate ways. These systems really work together, so would be great if I only had to draw it once. The dirt road of this system is kinda like a tow-path on an English canal if that helps On 09/09/2009, at 5:30 PM, [email protected] wrote: > Message: 1 > Date: Tue, 08 Sep 2009 13:28:21 +0200 > From: "Thomas Meller" <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [OSM-newbies] newbies Digest, Vol 31, Issue 5 > To: [email protected] > Message-ID: <[email protected]> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" > > Hello Bill, > > I don't know if I understood you right. > > You have ways which are good for cyclists, but tractors and > motorcycles may use them and are capable to do so as well.
