That’s definitely good news. Previous route was quite the hilly trek…

Heh, please share your experience with the mailing lists. I’m trying to get route=road to stick and one of the biggest arguments is that relations are a pain in id.

Heavens! That would mean going near a m-m-m-m-mailing list. Gave up on them a long time ago.

But in essence, iD makes these cycle route relations easy in the context I was using them, because it detects relations that nearby ways are part of, and allows you to just select them to add the selected way to the relation. (You can reference this comment in you posts if you wish.)

By the way, I am impressed with iD because it makes pain-in-the-derriere relations easier than other editors do - they are still the most difficult bit of OSM editing for beginners (even in iD).

Not sure I am qualified to comment on route=road. In the UK context, this really is pretty pointless because of the way our road numbering works. But that may not be the case in other countries.
