As an aside: Perhaps the reason that people producing trail maps in the past have left out things like motorways is that if they wanted to include them they'd have to pay a pile of money to some agency that surveys them. Which isn't very nice when motorways aren't even the main thing the main thing they're trying to present. So they don't. _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies
