I tried maintaining a route with iD a year or two ago and realized it messed up the ordering. So I installed and learned enough of jOSM to do it that way. But iD changed a couple of months ago and supports routes a lot better. Most of the damage is done by other things then deletion.

Try to disconnect a way that's part of a route and it will tell you that you can't do that because it's part of a route. Maybe it doesn't catch all the ways you can damage a route by accident but it catches a lot of them. I know, because it's complained at me a lot when I tried to alter ways that I hadn't realized were part of a route. A couple of days ago I found a length of road that was called "A" for one section and "B" for another. It turned out that actually both sections should be called "C." I renamed and merged those sections. That road is part of a route. I just checked the route. Making that change hadn't broken or unordered the route. So, I ask again: when was the last time you tried this? Because if you've done it in the past week or two and iD broke something, I'd like to know what I should avoid doing in iD. -- Paul
