Hi all, Having 'gotten into' cross country skiing this winter I have been mapping the trails at our local spot, however OpenPisteMap is not quite working as I would expect.
I have tagged the trails a 'highway=footway' and 'piste:type=nordic' as these trails are multi-use; cycling and walking in the summer and groomed cross country trails in the winter. At present OPM does not render these as ski-trails. Is this the correct way to tag this situation, or can someone suggest a better method? OPM (no contours): http://openpistemap.org/?lon=-114.60574&lat=49.66878&zoom=15&layers=0B00 Osmarender: http://openpistemap.org/?lon=-114.60574&lat=49.66878&zoom=15&layers=000B Also there is no mention of the following on the OpenPisteMap wiki page (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Proposed_features/Piste_Maps): 1) Direction of Way: I assume that 'forward' is meant as 'generally downhill' as the 'piste:type=downhill' implies one-way. 2) Steep Sections: Is there a method of marking a steep section? The maps posted on site (http://www.crowsnestguide.com/allisonwonderlands/allisonmap.html) draw a little '|---' line next to the trail at the appropriate places. This could be marked with a short way marked 'piste:steep=yes'. Where this is against the general direction of the way should we reverse the way or use a 'up/down' or 'forward/backward' tagging (ie. 'piste:steep=backward')? If there are no objections, I could/will add the above to the wiki page. Finally, is there an simple way to extract/note elevations from a GPX file in JOSM? Yes I know that GPS elevation is not that accurate. But it's something that would be useful and I'm using a professional/survey grade receiver as the forest trails are rather hard to get lock with my handheld. I would like to add a 'ele=xxx' tag to the markers tag at the junction of the trails to give some indication of height gain/loss between markers. This would enable a person unfamiliar with the trail to gain a sense of the workout they are about to get....
