Hello Dan, There is Freemap which allows you to store your own walks, it does use OSM ways but stores them locally. It doesn't use relations.
Not sure what other peoples thoughts would be but I'd guess storing them in OSM itself would clutter up the database and it's best stored elsewhere.

I would like to publish these on my blog, in the hopes that other people looking for walks in the area will find them. However, I haven't yet worked out a good way to do this. One thought I had was to add all the constituent ways to a relation, and then link to the relation shown on the OSM map (as in [0] and [1]). However, I wasn't sure if this was an abuse of relations, given that this isn't a walk that exists anywhere but in my head (as opposed to a more 'official' walk). At the other end of the spectrum is screenshots and using the GIMP to draw my route on (or using a mapping site like BikeRouteToaster to draw the lines on, and taking screenshots of that). However, this seems really lame (as you lose all of the slippy-map goodness, and the updating of the surrounding area/data), so I'd prefer not to have to resort to this. Has anyone else done something like this? Have I missed a project somewhere which is designed to store such things? Any input would be much appreciated. Thanks, Dan [Footnote 0: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?relation=77959] [Footnote 1: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?relation=93785] _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
