<p>Just for info - you've sent this to the mkgmap-dev list, which I
suspect might not have been deliberate. That list is all about
creating Garmin maps using OSM data; not really how to tag trails.<br>
</p>
<p>It sounds like a good candidate question for the help site
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://help.openstreetmap.org">https://help.openstreetmap.org</a> , actually!</p>
<p>While none of the 4 map styles on the osm.org website currently
display hiking route relations there are others that do. You've
already mentioned "waymarked trails"; Thunderforest Outdoors is
another example <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.thunderforest.com/maps/outdoors/">http://www.thunderforest.com/maps/outdoors/</a> .</p>
<p>The "issues list" for the standard map style is at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues">https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues</a> . It
wouldn't surprise me if someone has already added one for "please
dispplay hiking routes".<br>
</p>
<p>For various technical reasons it might be difficult to show
relation membership on OSM's "standard map", but if you want to
you can use a bit of browser trickery to show different map tiles
in place of one of the 4 normal map styles:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:SomeoneElse/Your_tiles_from_osm.org">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:SomeoneElse/Your_tiles_from_osm.org</a>
. It's also possible (but a bit harder) to create your own map
tiles - for example here's an example I did based on OSM's
"standard" map from a couple of years ago:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/SomeoneElse/diary/38988">https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/SomeoneElse/diary/38988</a> .</p>
<p>To actually answer the questions:</p>
<ul>
<li>What is the best practice in dealing with such a situation?</li>
</ul>
Don't try and munge the "route name" into the "path or street name",
but add it to the route relation.<br>
<br>
<ul>
<li>Should I be adding the contents of every relation tag
associated with a way, to the name tag of the way? This seems
like it would be very cumbersome.</li>
</ul>
It would indeed be cumbersome, and not a good idea.<br>
<br>
<ul>
<li>Would it make sense to have the default openstreetmap.org page
render the name tag of each associated relation and if there
are no relations then render the name tag of the way itself?</li>
</ul>
Possibly, but the challenge is that there are lots of different
sorts of data competing to be rendered, and if you try and render
_everything_ you end up with a mess. Also, as I mentioned above
there are technical restrictions to do with what's in the standard
map's rendering database that controls what can be displayed
currently. There are plans afoot to change that though - to move to
using lua tag transforms that allow processing similar in many ways
to what you can do with mkgmap's style files.<br>

<p>Hi</p>
<p>I have been learning OSM mapping now for a while and struggle
with best practices for name tagging ways. As an example please
view the 1779 Trail on which I have worked which is shared in
part by the 1777W Trail, the Timp Torne Trail links included
below.</p>
<p>What I have done here is <br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>created a relation for each of the individual trails adding
the name of the trail to the relation name.<br>
</li>
<li>leave the name tag on the way blank.</li>
</ul>
<p>However a problem arises:<br>
</p>
On waymarked trails this portion of the trail is rendered as
follows:<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://hiking.waymarkedtrails.org/#route?id=6292324&map=18%2141.3237%21-73.9884">http://hiking.waymarkedtrails.org/#route?id=6292324&map=18!41.3237!-73.9884</a><br>
showing symbols for the 3 trails that the way.<br>
<br>
On openstreetmap.org it is rendered as follows:<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/41.32387/-73.98884">https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/41.32387/-73.98884</a><br>
showing neither the symbols or the 3 associated trailnames.<br>
<br>
I am wondering 2 things<br>
<ul>
<li>What is the best practice in dealing with such a situation?</li>
<li>Should I be adding the contents of every relation tag
associated with a way, to the name tag of the way? This seems
like it would be very cumbersome.<br>
</li>
<li>Would it make sense to have the default openstreetmap.org
page render the name tag of each associated relation and if
there are no relations then render the name tag of the way
itself?</li>
</ul>
