[OSM-talk] Trails (paths) with no individual names

[Victor Snesarev]

Should I use the name tag when mapping a system of connected trails that has
a name, but where individual trail branches do not have names?

For a specific example take a look at the Kildaire Farms Trail system I
started mapping here:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=35.75814&lon=-78.79265&zoom=16&layers=0B0FT

I named the small branch going North from the trail junction with the same
name as the main trail. There are other branches, some of which are quite
short, that will probably clutter the map with "Kildaire Farms Trail"
labels. I am thinking of keeping the name on the longest way and not naming
the branches. What would you do?

Thanks,
Victor
