TrailWise allows users to enter names for tracks and collections of adjoining tracks. These go into what we call a 'Defined' record, as the Name is defining a historical route. There are a couple of points of note -

Lanes can change names along their length, or over history - this is accomodated by allowing tracks to be flexibly associated with more than one name.

Lanes can have more than one name, say a present-day name and a differing one in the past (e.g. Miggs Lane may have become Station Road when the railway arrived). Sometimes lanes even have a nickname among users (e.g. Brown Trousers). TrailWise allows multiple names records.

Longer routes may be named and 'promoted' by the highway authority, e.g. "The Cotswold Way", TrailWise allows tracks to be grouped by these arrangements.

Where no name is known, users often give the location of some handy landmark (e.g. Smiths Farm) to help others.
