I’ve finally got around to updating my England & Wales Rights of Way presets, and I felt that I should probably link them here for a bit more exposure and feedback. They seem to work OK in Vespucci too, but I’ve not tested them extensively there (I’m still rather new to Vespucci’s requirements for preset bundles!)
Public rights of way in England and Wales, using the good bits out of the global tagging style while retaining our ancient folkways and customs. This is a JOSM presets file implementing a hybrid version of the United Kingdom Tagging Guidelines, at least the part about public footpaths, bridleways, byways and permissive paths.
The latest version is 0.12_2024-06-23. This is a minor buff to a presets file that’s been available for over a decade without any complaints so far. Please let me know if I’ve missed anything new. Perhaps prow_ref would be a useful addition?
I’m brand new to OSM mapping contributions, and have chosen to improve the accuracy of local PRoWs tags as my first ‘project’. I feel so much more confident in what I’m doing after finding and using your presets - so thank you very much!
As for the prow_ref option, I’ve found tagging them manually is really no extra effort, but perhaps it would encourage other mappers to use the tag instead of the quite prevalent name:?
