well, this wouldn't work really, since as I said, it is not a footpath,
it's a route going over "existing" tracks/roads/cities, which means that
lots of parts of the route can be used on a motor vehicle.
Also, we have the Gran Recorrido ones, but there are also the
international routes (E- is the reference they use), and also the short
distance routes (Pequeño Recorrido), as well as local routes (Sendero
Local). All of them use existing ways, and I'm sure there is something
similar in most countries.
Maybe we can add new values for the route tag, like
"long_distance_route", "short_distance_route", "local_route", would that
work for other countries? As for the "gran_recorrido" naming in the
tags, not sure we really need it, since that would be in the ref/name
tags

I miss in the route key a way for "Gran Recorrido" ("Big distance")
routes here in Spain, which are routes which cover several kms, off road
most of the time, but which use footways, normal tracks (where motor
vehicles are allowed), some roads, etc.
So how would I tag this? Does the route need to be its own way, or
should we just tag the roads/footways/tracks the route uses with the
route tag?

[OSM-talk] ski pistes
Hi AFAIK, the ski pistes proposal (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/WikiProject_Piste_Maps ) hasn't yet fully been accepted, and since I have lots of traces for 3 ski resorts (lifts are already in the OSM database), I am wondering what should I do. I see people are using the tags in the proposal to have the maps rendered in OpenPisteMap.org, but since, again AFAIK, the proposal is not accepted yet, should I use instead the route=ski key instead of using the not-yet accepted proposal? Also, where does openpistemap get the level curves from?

[OSM-talk] search in traces page
Hi Trying to promote OSM, one nice thing I've found is pointing people to the GPS tracks, which might make them willing to donate their own tracks (like with wikiloc.org for instance). But the traces page misses IMO a good way to search using the tags added to the tracks. Is there any plan to add such a search interface or is it already available and I missed it? -- Rodrigo Moya <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
