</div></div>Just a little question: why did this need its own page? It's what the<br>
discussion pages should be used for...<br>
<br>
Anyway, just saying in case there are some other votes coming up as well...<br></blockquote></div><div><br>Sorry, I'm not in the habit of launching votes. It's a dirty job, but somebody has to do it.<br><br>After one day we have 7 votes in favour, 0 against. I'll wait for a few more days. In the mean time |'ve been playing a bit with the Overpass API:<br>
<br><query type="relation" into="routes"><br> <bbox-query s="49.5" n="51.5" w="2.52" e="6.5"/><br> <has-kv k="route" v="foot"/><br>
</query><br><query type="relation"><br> <bbox-query s="49.5" n="51.5" w="2.52" e="6.5"/><br> <has-kv k="route" v="foot"/><br>
</query><br><union><br> <item/><br> <recurse type="relation-backwards" from="routes"/><br> <recurse type="relation-node" from="routes"/><br> <recurse type="relation-way" from="routes"/><br>
<recurse type="way-node"/> <br></union><br><print mode="meta"/><br><br>This query results in a 45 MB file, containing all relations where route=foot in an area more or less covering Belgium. There are some routes going into the neighbouring countries. Hopefully they won't mind the retagging.<br>
<br>It also gives all parent relations and all node and way members of the route relations. Getting the numbered nodes themselves from the network relations should already have been accomplished by downloading the ways. If not, it's only one extra line to accomplish that. That way nodes which were drawn next to the actual crossing and made members of the network relation also get downloaded.<br>
<br> <recurse type="relation-node"/><br>
above<br> <recurse type="relation-node" from="routes"/><br>
<br>Anyway, just to illustrate the power of Overpass. It's quick too, only a few minutes, download included.<br><br>This provides a great starting point to rename those tags all at once with JOSM.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
