I'll use the code without the county council letters as this is what is in the name tag in JOSM. I'll debate as to whether to split the path number according to the last number as this would require quite a bit of work and I've still not mapped all the paths in the parish yet!
As you refer to http://www.rowmaps.com/kmls/DY/converted.kml DY|AV3|3/1 I guess you have grabbed: http://www.rowmaps.com/kmls/DY/converted.kml or: http://www.rowmaps.com/kmls/DY/augmented.kml In order to be consistent across councils, those files have mutations of the original data. The file: http://www.rowmaps.com/kmls/DY/original.kml is a non-tampered-with version of Derbyshire's data. For DY|AV3|3/1, it has: <SimpleData name="RouteCode">AV3/3/1</SimpleData> <SimpleData name="ParentRouteCode">AV3/3</SimpleData> <SimpleData name="ParishCode">AV3</SimpleData> <SimpleData name="PROW_Number">3</SimpleData> <SimpleData name="LinkNo">1</SimpleData> <SimpleData name="PROW_District">Amber Valley</SimpleData> <SimpleData name="Parish">Ashleyhay</SimpleData> <SimpleData name="PROW_Status">Footpath</SimpleData> I agree with your decision to remove the "DY".I think you've also decided not to include the Parish. But if you change your mind, then do what Rob Nickerson said in his e-mail:
add the reference in the same format as used by the Local Authority I think this means choose either: AV3/3 or: Ashleyhay FP 3 as I think that will be what's on Derbyshire's online map. So there are no occurrences of the | character! -- Barry Cornelius http://www.northeastraces.com/ http://www.thehs2.com/ http://www.rowmaps.com/ http://www.oxonpaths.com/ http://www.barrycornelius.com/
