Ok doki now were getting some where, just as the ford way point is assigned to a node and the image shows the state of the crossing would it be feasible to use the information tag to provide the info and photo at the top or bottom of Calcup Hill or before entering the Yeagarup sand dunes for example.
If so then generally as you enter most coastal track systems there is an area where you let the tires down etc the core information values of the track system could be described there in a local dialog. For example, some black sand is coarse and holds very little moisture. It behaves like sugar at the other end of the scale there is fine white sand that compacts nicely with some moisture The information is relevant to the tyre pressures. Next question, can the Information tag be assigned to a individual node if so then would that create a relationship with the node and track?
