> This makes viewing a [superroute](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:type=superroute) especially confusing as nothing is displayed.

I've just run into this problem.

https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/17185960/

though this site does render it:

https://hiking.waymarkedtrails.org/#route?id=17185960

If there is some concern about overloading the API or the browser, then I would suggest that:

- API retrieval be limited to X Megabytes, and the result shown if returned and below that level;
- If the route cannot be displayed, the interface **actually says so**; a list of the components of the superroute could for instance be stated as a list, which means the user at least gets some sense of what to do next.

Simply showing nothing because of a technical limitation doesn't help the user.
