Hi Matthijs,
Wherever possible the names in NaPTAN should match what is on the flag or
shelter. There are however some instances where this is not possible or
desirable.
For instance, the stop might carry a historic name such as for a long closed
pub which has been updated in data but not on

Hi Brian,
Great to see this going forward! Some technicalities:

This is not very clear to me. I think this section either needs more
detail, or less (with the detail moved to the individual steps). Also, what
do you mean with opening a csv in JOSM?

Hi Rob,
I actually had the impenetrable barrier case 3 weeks ago: a stile deep in a
hedge & no sign of any path on the other side. It is in Leics CC data & a
path is shown on old 1:25k maps, so again I've added it without any highway
tag.
In Carmarthenshire the state of the paths was such that
Thanks to Colin and Jerry for your responses.
Although I understand and agree with what you're saying Colin, I probably
didn't make it clear enough in my attempt to be concise that it's the
representation on OSM that I've got queries about as I'm fairly au fait with
the law on this. I'll
Hi Rob,
Generally the ideal is a path followed & mapped as it appears on the
ground, with the status (designation) of the path based on waymarkers and
fingerposts. This will inevitably mean that in places the mapped path does
not follow the line shown on the definitive map: most usually because
Hi,
I've just read Colin's reply again - more thoroughly this time! I should have
made it clear that I was thinking of paths where there's only a slight
discrepancy - up to 40m say. For example where there's no longer a stile
through a hedge because everyone heads for the nearest gate. Or
Hi,
I'm a relative newcomer to contributing to OSM but trying to get to grips as
quickly as possible with the consensus on various topics, one of which is
PROWs. The emails below raise questions I've had for a while.
I'm hoping for guidance as paths can include these two types:
1. Definitive
My understanding is that the definitive data held by the appropriate
local authority is exactly that, definitive. There may be legitimate
errors in there of course, but where a path has been willfully and
legally rerouted, that is a different type of error - lack of currency,
i.e. an order has
Hi
If you're using local authority data/os open data to map paths, as a
contributor current is in Somerset, please don't assume their layout
corresponds with what's on the ground or is more accurate than what's
mapped in OSM. These official ways are often outdated, being based on
