For my last question, I get the answer in the first email of this thread :
"Currently it compares major highways (unclassified and higher) and water
features" => tracks are not (yet) compared !

for this new tool ...

Aren't these canals/drains/etc and not tracks?
In any case I would suggest concentrating on OSM and not on what google
has/or not. Most of google data is simply purchased when they feel a
need to do so (for example like in Germany two years ago when they where
so hopelessly behind OSM that they ha
Hi,
in France we also have some tools to show/compare with external datasets.
One of them is regarding the highways (

but I find it way more readable than yours with google data (

I agree that the term major is relative, to me this would be secondary (or even

Great tool! Found one canal that needed mapping in my area. I'm guessing
this will be great for countries that are badly mapped, and you need to
find quickly what areas need your attention.

Apart from being confusing to understand & use, you're making the false
assumption that it's the Google data which is correct. In my area the
only red lines are either where Google maps are inaccurate or there's an
error in your algorithm as there's no difference between OSM & Google.
