Exactly. What is 'long' kind of varies. When I mapped https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/4286650, I used a single relation, because there were relatively few member ways and very few natural points to break it into pieces. For the work in progress, https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/919642, I found that trying to maintain a single relation was totally unmanageable. In fact, I tripped over a bug (since fixed) in JOSM with handling a relation that big, and had to switch to Meerkartor while breaking it up. I decided that the most natural break was on county lines, although I didn't trouble with separating off the tiny segment that is on the streets of Manhattan (New York County). That worked out well, and Waymarked Trails is happy with it. (The remaining gaps have nothing to do with tagging. I simply haven't mapped them yet, and won't until the weather improves. I dislike mapping on snowshoes, because too often I discover that the snowshoe track doesn't follow the actual treadway.) > Rendering can be done without superroutes, just by rendering each piece > separately.

In fact, there is no non-deprecated way to access relation information at the time of routing or rendering, if you use osm2pgsql; all relations have been reduced to single ways and/or multipolygons. (That's why I'm planning to investigate using imposm3 for my own experimental stuff on route concurrences - I find myself needing the route relations after osm2pgsql has thrown them away.) _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
