This already exists

Thanks for the reply. After I created the proposal, I saw a tag:route=snowmobile page that has type=route, route=snowmobile, and key snowmobile. I am extremely new to Open Street Map and thus it is very confusing to identify a line within OSM as a snowmobile trail. The edit function of a line doesn't have a feature type icon of a snowmobile. I found a track icon. But a picture of an ATV does not fit with a snowmobile. How does a person get or make a snowmobile feature type icon? The feature types of path and highway don't have any options for a snowmobile trail.

So how does a person give a line the attributes of a snowmobile trail? I am starting with a designated snowmobile trail that was created for snowmobiles. After that, comes whether it is paved or unpaved, all year or part year use, passible or impassible in summer, and whether or not it is multiuse.

I'm not sure, it has something to do with the iD editor. You should make a post in the community forum. https://community.openstreetmap.org/ Funtonite (talk) 00:15, 13 May 2026 (UTC)
