Thanks :) For the moment, I'll probably stick with my very own "tcn"
tag.  We should see the ways/routes nevertheless, because most of
the time they are also part of other networks (lcn, rcn, ncn).

The first kilometer of the German national route no 11 you can see
now:

There are also lcn routes nearby which you cannot see because better
zoom levels are missing... hint, hint ;)  I'm going to map more routes
around here once I feel better again.
