<pre dir="auto" class="k9mail">Hi,<br><br>It appears that route name are being applied to track/path names,<br><br>I believe this comes about due to signs that state the route names and point along the track/path that appear to the name of the track/path.<br><br>For example Way 228853104 <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/228853104#map=15/37.8558/-107.3617">https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/228853104#map=15/37.8558/-107.3617</a><br><br>Tagged as;<br><br>name Continental Divide NST {NST being an abbreviation of National Scenic Trail}<br>name_1 Colorado Trail (Segment 22)<br><br>and part of relations;<br><br><br> Relation Colorado Trail (3445384)<br> Relation CDT ivc (8053592) {this is an abbreviation of Continental Divide Trail and part of a relation, that is part of a relation, that is part of Relation: Continental Divide National Scenic Trail (921198)!!!}<br><br>I think the 'names' should be removed from these 'unnamed' things ..the 'name' is the name of the route not the individual tracks/paths some of which existed before some routes were created.<br><br>Note I am not that familiar with the above 2 routes but am familiar with two near me .. and those routes are relatively recent compared to the tracks and paths they use. I am useing those 2 routes as more people would be aware of them than the ones I know.<hr>Tagging mailing list<br>Tagging@openstreetmap.org<br><a href="https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging">https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging</a><br></pre></blockquote></div></body></html>
