Using the analogy of highways, the local name would take priority (e.g. name of
fire trail), other otherwise-unnamed sections would take the route name.
Doesn’t necessarily apply to tracks of course. When I surveyed the Great North
Walk 4 years ago from Cowan to Epping Road
Sounds like you have 2 issues here?
1. someone has created a way (probably from a GPS recorded walk) with no
regard for the fact that some (or all) of the ways were already in OSM, and
2. how those ways are named?
Issue 1: I have come across this from time-to-time and it is a p-i-t-a

Hi,
This sounds similar to the Munda Biddi and Bibblimum 1000km trails (WA)
and 900km Mawson Trail (SA), both of which use a collection of existing
roads/paths/trails along with some purpose built link sections.
Think about Donnelly River Village. South of the town the Munda Biddi is on
Agreed, if I understand you correctly.
In the case of something like the Great North Walk, it can be a bit of a
grey area as not only the main track, but many of the feeder tracks are
labelled Great North Walk. If you didn't know the history of the tracks,
you could easily assume it's all
A response to Tony's comment (but not necessarily relevant to the names of
tracks)
The "higher" name is not necessarily the street name.
In New South Wales, the local government is the naming authority for street
names. Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) is the authority for designating
Hi,
I'm specifically talking of hiking paths.
Highways I think are already mapped correctly ... digging one out now ..
The Great Western Highway exists as a route of 682 members
Most of the members carry the same name as the route. But some carry
other
Hi Warin
I would expect the highest order entity, the longest or biggest
entity, to be the primary name. For example the Hume Highway will
include a lot of High Streets, Station Streets or Main streets of
country towns. In my mind its first the Hume Highway and secondly High
Street
HI,
On some paths route signs have been used to 'name' the path.
One example is the 'Great North Walk', a Sydney to Newcastle walking
route, where many of the paths existed before the route was created. I
think this is a combination of mistaking the route signage as the track
name and route
