I (like also people do in OSM database i saw) use the REF in combination
with the highway shield also as marker for trails (in hiking/biking
overlays) and therefore this behaviour disturbs.


Hi Gert!

I tried the same yesterday to generate a hiking route overlay for my garmin topo map (as I currently like to go hiking and add new routes here in western Germany) and also noticed that only very few routes show highway shields at all (mostly when they have very simple refs like "1" or "2").

How do you deal with the problem of ways that are part of multiple routes?
I would like to generate one line element for every route=hiking/foot relation that a way belongs to, but can't figure out how to do this. Currently, only one route is displayed for each segment.
Will it work with [continue]? Extract every relation and its ways and nodes to a seperate .osm file using Osmosis (how?) and then process them all with mkgmap?

Thanks!
