Hi John, dear friends, Just to add that we've been collecting road mapping tips (and other goodies) here on Google slides (in the HOT drive): http://bjohas.de/go/mmintro (see p. 65).
We've said this: - Can it be passed by a vehicle? → unclassified (or better) / residential / track (not path) - Does it connect distinct villages/areas where people live (running between and through villages)? → Unclassified or better (not residential / not track) - Does the road only run within a village or residential area (not a through-road) → residential - Does the road only run to fields (agric. use)? → track - Is it not passable by car (4x4)? → path Note: A metal roof arrives by vehicle → roads to houses with metal roofs are unclassified or residential (not path). Do you all agree? Bjoern On 21 Dec 2017 15:44, "john whelan" <[email protected]> wrote: It's come up in the OSMand mailing list that these aren't shown at higher zoom levels. Whilst mapping specifically just for the rendering system is frowned on in this case it is supported by the wiki. If it connects settlements then according to http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Highway_Tag_Africa it is not a track. unclassified or minor road surface unpaved is a reasonable default.
