For instance in Northern Thailand, single tracks (highway=path) can be either:
Since I focus only on B) and want to avoid A) when scouting and planning itineraries, I am looking for a way to tag these trails (highway=path) so they are rendered differently.
Additional came across this proposal https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/motorcycle:scale I like the idea of a rating system however not the fact that this would require some separate viewer. Any ideas on how this could be solved? Thanks! asked 18 May '21, 10:20 cmoffroad |
that If you are on a bike you might have a Garmin unit. For these it is relatively easy to adjust the rendering style. Data volume in Thailand or Laos allows this. You could have a dedicated style for your biking. Check out the openstreetmap forum for recommendations from others on how to do that. Please refrain from (ab)using other tags to get the rendering in a way you like. This is not welcome within OSM. answered 19 May '21, 19:32 Stephan Knauss |
I use tracktype wherever it might be relevant, not just on highway=track. https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/17tr suggests I'm not alone in doing that.
@SomeoneElse correct but tracktype is only meant to describe surface firmness nothing to do with steepness/accessibility or difficulty https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:tracktype
