Strongly disagree. But then you know that. :) I think the root (route?) problem is that we're tagging everything as "networks" even if they're not. I've been as guilty as anyone of this: when I mapped the Four Castles Cycle Route around Abergavenny, I tagged it as lcn, "just to get it to render". But it isn't a network, really. It's just a route. Lots of other people have done this, to the extent that I wince whenever I look at OCM at z<13 - all that obtrusive dark blue in places which really don't have local cycle networks at all. >From OSM's point of view, there's no reason at all why a route=bicycle relation needs a network= tag. If it's a bicycle route, tagging it as route=bicycle should be sufficient. If it's a bicycle route, it would also be great to see it on the Cycle Map. But since the Cycle Map requires a network= tag, so we all add one. So what would be most awesome of all would be if OCM rendered route=bicycle without a network tag - whether this be the Four Castles, the National Byway, the Wiltshire Cycleway, or whatever. <flutters eyelashes> cheers Richard -- View this message in context: http://gis.638310.n2.nabble.com/National-Byway-rendering-on-OpenCycleMap-tp6287466p6290064.html Sent from the Great Britain mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
