Yes, this is definitely the best strategy and I plan to delete the shortcut. This will leave the map with an unfinished trail that stops mid-forest. In the real world it's signposted further than that point, back to a mapped area. Should I: 1. Leave the half-mapped official trail as it is 2. Delete the whole trail 3. Enter inaccurate data in OSM by estimating how the path would go, just to complete the cycle? Unless I hear strong opinions to the contrary, I'll go with #1. It won't look great on the map, but is the most accurate/responsible option. #2 would be a bit of a shame as the mapped official track is useful to have on the GPS, as there are some tricky parts. #3 would look nice and _probably_ not confuse people on the ground too much, as there are signs there, but I'd rather stay away from such shenanigans.
