[OSM-talk] Bridge on Hiking Trails

[Russ Nelson]

You don't have to fill in *anything* in a preset.  If you don't, then
all of the optional stuff is left out and you only get the
"bridge=yes" tag, which is useful if you've forgotten.

Otherwise, you can just add it as an attribute.  The typing completion
makes it very easy.  Click on "Add", type "b" and "bridge" will
probably come up.  Then hit tab, type "y" and "yes" will probably come
up.  If not, then your currently downloaded data doesn't have any
bridges yet.  Type it out completely and the next one will complete.

I have a hiking trail marked as an 'demanding alpine hiking' 50 km from any humanity and then I have a bridge tagged as highway in the middle of it. Am I missing something here?<br>
