[Tagging] Roundtrip and closed loop in relations

[Peter Elderson]

I think roundtrip is not about the route taken, but about the transport taking you somewhere, you do your thing there, then transport back to where you started. It's more like a service kind of thing. I don't use it when the relation shows exactly what the route is. I only find it useful to indicate that a route should be regarded as a roundtrip, even though the relation contains branches, excursions or shortcuts.

For hiking, a hiking route A to B waymarked in two directions is not a roundtrip. A hiking route ending where you started when you follow one direction all the time, may be seen as a roundtrip, because the 'transport' takes you back to back to to starting point.

I do a weekly round trip of ~38 klm - roughly 13 k down & 15 k back, mainly because I leave the Motorway at exit 92 but have to come back on at exit 95. & if the Motorway is too busy that day, I may well come home up the Highway, which will be 12 k home (but 15 minutes longer time), but it's still a "round trip"
