<br>
I am changing the Swiss hiking network page<br>
<a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Switzerland/HikingNetwork" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Switzerland/HikingNetwork</a> trying to<br>
resolve some confusion. See<br>
<a href="http://lists.openstreetmap.ch/pipermail/talk-ch/2021-June/010972.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://lists.openstreetmap.ch/pipermail/talk-ch/2021-June/010972.html</a><br>
One part is aimed at a source of conflict that came up from time to<br>
time: The name tag on unnamed base network routes. Some mappers delete<br>
the names because the segments do not have names. Others add a name to<br>
every single relation in all of Switzerland. The Swiss base hiking<br>
network has good directions signs, but the segments are not named.<br>
(There are also named and numbered routes on top of the base network,<br>
but not covering it).<br>
<br>
But knowing the start and end of each segment (which was used as the<br>
name) helps maintaining the hiking network. So the change will add the<br>
from=* and to=* tags to the Swiss wiki page to map the start and end<br>
place. That way, the name tag does not get misused, and the data is<br>
still there for mappers to use for maintenance.<br>
<br>
Have a nice day<br>
Michael<br>
