[talk-au] Help with relations

[Kerry and Robert]

Thanks Neil and Pete,

I have worked out how to split the way and have added a relation to parts of
the Portland Casterton Rd and the Glenelg Hwy. 

I have added the Lower Coleraine Rd, Sandford Rd, Hilgay Lane and Lower
Hilgay Rd to OSM as this was the route I took.

I am using Potlatch and the relation is 536039 The Golden trail,  tagged as
follows

Type=route

Route=bicycle

Network=RCN

Name=The Golden Trail

Should I have also used RCN-ref=name? As there is no indication on OSM. When
in editing mode, the roads have a blue border after the relation is added

ll> &lon=141.42351&zoom=16&layers=null

 

Sorry to disappoint as I didn't cycle the route just to add it to OSM, had
to also drink some red wine and beer along the wayJ

I have done a couple of cycle tours in Europe and became frustrated with the
expense of maps and getting lost. I came across this site

www.openmtbmaps.org which are derived from OSM and which swayed me to buy a
GPS. I thought that as others were adding info that will assist me when
touring, other countries, I would repay the effort by doing some routes in
my own.

Thanks again for the help

Cheers

Robert

The only issue that you may have is that you only want a part of the way to
be part of the route.  In that case you need to split the way into three
distinct sections.  The section before the way becomes part of the route,
the part of the way which is on the route, and the part of the way which is
after the route.

Then you just add the section which is part of the route to your route
relation.

Cycling 600 odd kilometers to add a route to openstreetmaps, absolutely
fantastic, you have made my day. 

Are you using JOSM or Potlatch.  In JOSM adding ways to a relation is
nothing to worry about, you simply open the relation for editing.  Select
the way(s) you want to add and then click on the add selected button.  Not
much can really go wrong. 

I had a look at the map but couldn't find any parts of the golden trail on
their yet.  Can you send a link of an area you have already done?

Regards

Neil

hi

I have recently completed a cycling tour of part of a route known as the
Golden Trail, which roughly follows the route taken by Chinese miners to
walk from Robe SA to Bendigo.  www.thegoldentrail.com

 

I have added unsurveyed roads to OSM and have used relation to show the
bicycle route 

How do I add a relation to a small portion of an existing tagged road. 

This is my first large scale effort to add info to OSM and am worried about
stuffing it up

Regards

Robert
