All of those are survey goals. The result of the survey may be that the route relation in OSM needs to be adapted to reflect the situation in the field. That's what I meant by maintenance of the route relation in OSM.
The goal of the idea is to tag the date of the last reality check. The best thing I have now is the date of the last edit, which most of the time results from e.g. a mapper's action (cut or remove) on a way that's part of the route relation. I want to ensure that the route in the field and the route relation stay in sync, and when they don't (which is a 100% certainty) that you can tell at what point in time it did match. Information older than that date (e.g. gpx-tracks) can be discarded, newer information can be entered, and edits after the survey date are new info which should be kept. 2018-07-19 12:14 GMT+02:00 Andy Townsend <ajt1...@gmail.com>: > On 19/07/2018 07:50, Peter Elderson wrote: > >> I would like some thoughts on the idea of tagging route maintenance.
