[OSM-talk-be] Wallonia hiking route schema

[Stijn Rombauts]

Hi,

Decent documentation is certainly useful, but some remarks:
- Everywhere else on that page route=foot is mentioned in the tagging examples. I don't care whether foot or hiking is chosen, but it should be everywhere the same.
- ref: If a hiking route has a reference number 33 on the official map and on the official website, my opinion is that that number should be chosen as reference, not some number in that inventaire of the Commissariat général au Tourisme. Another example is Saint-Ode which uses references A1 - A7 etc. which are again much more useful than the numbers on the inventaire. And for some communties/SI's the hiking routes in the inventaire have no name, so it's impossible to know which hiking route one finds on the field or on the map has which number in the inventaire.
- name: I prefer to use a name as a name, not a combination of reference and name, or a combination of reference and community and name. 
- wikiloc: The first line on https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Belgium/Conventions/Walking_Routes says: "Mapping of walking and/or biking routes must be restricted to routes 
signposted by an official tourism agency that is assigning the node 
numbers, if any, and writing them to the signs". So, apparently personal hiking routes which are not signposted shouldn't be added to OSM...
- osmc:symbol: perhaps you could refer to http://www.waymarkedtrails.org/en/help/rendering/osmc?
- colour=* could also be a useful tag


Regards,

StijnRR

What's Wikiloc, and why would it need to be in the ref tag? Are these wikiloc 
routes signed at all?

route=foot or route=hiking is virtually the same, I wouldn't worry
 about it, 
there's
 probably a big discussion about it somewhere in the talk mailing list 
archives.
