highway=footway also encapsulates the idea "there is a path here".<br>

'hiking' can be used to indicate the main use of the way. <br>

Just as a 'oneway' can be used in the wrong direction by emergency
services. Some things are not tagged, they are what a reasonable
person would expect to be 'default' values.

The forestry workers, fire wardens, etc would be 'hiking' ... unless
it is wide enough for a vehicle .. in which case highway=track would
be a better tag. <br>
<br>
A leisure=swimming_pool does not say that the swimming pool is
exclusive for swimming... nor exclusive for leisure. <br>
ASSUME ... definition = making and ass out of you and me? <br>

Changing the tags because you don't like the rendering is
not the right approach. It would be better to lobby for a
change of rendering, or use a different renderer.<br>

Since everything from a sidewalk, a concrete path, a well
worn dirt path through the grass around a park, a rough
trail through the desert, and a trail up the side of Mt Fuji
all have the same vague, meaningless highway=path tag -
there is no differentiation possible, so there is no
rendering differentiation possible. In any renderer.<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
OSMAnd is capable of rendering the surface tag! So set your
'hiking path' to unpaved (or dirt/sand etc) ... and it can be
rendered.<br>
<br>
highway=path has always been someone's bandaid.<br>
I would rebel against path and use footway=hiking! I would be
for the removal of highway=path.<br>
