Re: [Tagging] Route names being applied to tracks/paths

2022-12-30 Thread stevea
I have mapped perhaps tens of thousands of miles of bike routes in OSM. Yes, really. I don't do this sort of "apply the name of the route to the element track/path." We shouldn't. Zeke's example is excellent and is a good reason for "route element naming" to be "case by case" rather than

I think this inconsistency is bad for OSM. Many ways don't have names, even if they have routes along them. They are just footpaths, & tracks etc. This instance on giving them a name tag is fake. It'll mean sections with one route will have their name tag rendered, but where additions
