[OSM-talk-be] GR en hiking

[Ivo De Broeck]

I give you an extract of the OSM wiki ( I hope you can see the different
colors in this text below or go to whatever page with the word hiking or
foot.)
---

Hiking routes are extensively mapped with route relations, and the Lonvia
map <http://osm.lonvia.de/hiking.html> will render route relations
following this proposal and the
osmc:symbol<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:osmc:symbol>
=*

Instead of the tag route <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:route>=
hiking <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:route%3Dhiking> there is
less frequently also used route<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:route>
=foot<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:route%3Dfoot&action=edit&redlink=1>
