I accept powerlines are fine and visible on other maps but the case for
transformers isn't quite so strong.

I thought the whole point of OSM was to map the ground truth?
Power lines are there, and they are an important navigational aid when out
walking or hiking.
And besides, just about every commercial mapping provider that I've used shows
them. The OS does, as do maps that I've seen in a range of
Hello everyone,
I have updated mapthepaths.org.uk's DNS record to point to a different server.
When this is done I will need to obtain a new HTTPS certificate. It's possible
that interruptions may occur over the next 24 hours or so but once updated it
will be up without further interuption.
Best,
Adam

Hello Martin/Nick,
Perhaps the combination of highway, surface and designation will cover many of
these use-cases?
e.g. a service road that looks like a track but is a service road, and has
bridleway rights, could be tagged as:
highway=service; surface=unpaved; designation=public_bridleway
chicken round here, relatively speaking, and I await
correction by my olders.

Hello everyone,
A warning that the MapThePaths site (www.mapthepaths.org.uk) and also perhaps
Freemap will be unavailable next weekend, Dec 19/20, and possibly into the
early part of next week.
The reason is that I am updating the OSM data on the server next weekend.
I have decided to create

Hello everyone,
For those of you who might use https://opentrailview.org or https://hikar.org,
or the Hikar app, I'm posting an advanced warning that these sites will be
unavailable on the weekend of December 19/20.
This is because I am updating the underlying database of Europe OSM data,
This reminds me a bit of this location, also in Wiltshire:
https://www.mapthepaths.org.uk/?lat=51.06209564615185=-2.0421791551466137=3=0
Note the orange diagonal line. That is the line of a bridleway according to the
Wiltshire ROW data as sourced on rowmaps.com (so not necessarily the

Thanks,

integration between the
website and the council's (and their contractor's) back end systems.
I think that trying to encourage councils to use another API might be a
challenge unless you offer them money.

Hi,
Just floating an idea for a possible OSMUK site, namely an OSMUK
'semi-official' web application for walkers and hikers.
This could provide similar functionality to sites such as the Ramblers'
Pathwatch
(https://www.ramblers.org.uk/advice/pathwatch-report-path-features-and-problems.aspx)
I would understand 'semi-public garden' to be, for example, a garden where you
pay an admission fee to enter, or one which is closed at night. Like Martin, I
would expect these to be completely acceptable to map.
I think the intention is to deter people from mapping _fully private_ gardens
