GR routes
Cooperation between OpenStreetMap, Grote Routepaden and Les Sentiers de Grande Randonnée (SGR)
GroteroutePaden vzw [1]
We have explicit permission to use the reference GPX files provided by GroteroutePaden.be on their website for all GR routes in Flanders [2]. Of course, this data should not be blindly trusted, and differences between OSM and the official data should always be examined before changing the relation. To make this process easier, a series of Umap's is being set up to make comparison easily and to allow for making on-topic notes that can be discussed with the people at Grote Routepaden.
A recent project together with Grote Routepaden is an effort to get the surface tags completed for all the ways used by the GR routes. More info on the osm.be blog.
Les Sentiers de Grande Randonnée asbl (SGR) [3]
Permission - Authorisation
As of July 2020, we have the permission to use the reference GPX files provided by SGR as well.
See below for the email about this authorisation:
Hello Joost, [If you’re not the best recipient, please forward] As you probably know, the GPX tracks of all GR/GRP in Wallonia is available for download on http://grsentiers.org/. A Qgiscloud map of GR in Wallonia is also available on https://qgiscloud.com/grsentiers/Reseau_GR_wallon/. Although we (SGR) have said from the beginning that we have no problem with the use of this information by Osm Mappers, this point was never formally defined. The CA of SGR Asbl has recently approved that the information will be available under licence : CC-BY 2.0 Belge. This means that the information (GPX and dynamic map) can be used by Osm Mappers and that relations defining the GR paths can be legally created. Practically, I’m not sure this will make a difference. I’ve personally created / updated several GR relations of GR in Wallonia in the past. See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Belgium/Long_Distance_Walking_Routes For good practice, the relation tags should specify that the operator in “SGR asbl”. If you have any question, do not hesitate, Best mapping regards, Michel Dawirs - aka Mercator 1958 SGR asbl - Leader of Cartographic Team

Maintenance des GR dans OpenStreetMap - Maintenance of GR routes in OpenStreetMap
SGR has found that the regular updates that SGR makes to its routes are not always reflected in OSM in a timely and quality manner.
Therefore, in 2021, SGR has approached OSM Belgium with a view to :
- ensure the complete reporting of all GR routes in OSM
- ensure the best possible synchronisation of changes to the GR routes
In OSM, the parts of a GR (main route, variants and connections) are included in the form of a relation with a series of attributes for each. This being the case, there is a need to maintain the GR routes in OSM.
A fifteen-page vademecum in PDF format entitled "Maintenance des GR dans OpenStreetMap" was drawn up in consultation with the SGR. It is available in French. It is a procedure to ensure the quality of the data in OSM. It is available here :
