Dcien Dobry, (or similiar 0o ;) ) I try to follow the OSMC-thread with translate.google (which sometimes translates only the half of the messages)
As far as I understood one thing maybe needs to be explained more precisely: OSMC:symbol isn't the mastertool to map hiking routes around the world. It is a way to describe the symbol machine-readable. It was introduced while developing OSMC¹ - a tool to create maps for Garmin devices. The hiking routes I saw (and mapped myself) mostly followed this description: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Walking_Routes#Relations As you see there are a lot of additional tags which should meet the requirements for things you surely missed. network= describes the "importance" of the route and should match kct_major (nwn or rwn) and kct_local (lwn) nwn - national walking route, rwn - regional walking route, lwn - local walking route iwn would be international walking routes icn, rcn and so on is used for cycling networks At the above mentioned page it also sais: | Since the tagging is generic, it is up to each country to decide how | to map the hiking networks that exist in their country onto the | hierarchy of national/regional/local Regards malenki ¹ http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Composer (regretfully the up-to-date version isn't translated into english) and since there wasn't any other way to tag hiking symbols (at least the german) OSM stuck with that. _______________________________________________ Talk-cz mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-cz
