In my area, the symbols and corresponding network are the same despite leading across completely paved tracks or following small, steep and muddy paths.
How would you describe the differences and how do you handle mixed cases ? All the attributes can be obtained from the tags of the ways and the distance and time completely subjective as you can simply walk some metres along a iwn. Ok, despite the value "hiking" I would prefer to group all walking/hiking routes and have a different value or at least additional tags in combination with route=foot for city (tourist) walks. The outcome needs to be added to the wiki as the is non for route=foot ATM and we need to evaluate the use-cases in advance. cu fly Am 04.03.2015 um 04:48 schrieb Steve Bennett: > Huh.
