[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Hiking_checkpoint

[Zsolt Bertalan]

I don't get it, why is it so hard to understand (not the movement part, the
route part).

Let's call it a 'THING'.

There are two types of THING.
The first type (clearly the only one you now) consists of routes (walks,
trails, etc.).
The second type consists of only checkpoints.

That's why we can NOT call the THING a route, trail, walk, etc. THIS would
be confusing.

If you can come up with a collective English term, tell me, please. If not,
leave me alone.

This is a list of THINGs on the webpage of the Hungarian Rambler's
Association:
http://termeszetbarat.hu/turamozgalmak
Sorry, no English translation. Túramozgalmak literally means tourism
movements.
The THINGs with the dotty icons are THINGs with checkpoints.
