I might have some traces for the straight through Devon to Cornwall route so probably the same as what you already have. It would be better if someone more local took a look. It's a shame that the state of aerial photography for the SW that is available to mappers is now so poor. Kevin On

Added a new Range store a couple of weeks ago as shop=houseware although shop=homeware would be fine as well. I think department store has some Grace Brothers style connotations regarding layout that The Range doesn't have at all. Kevin On Fri, Nov 8, 2019, at 1:00 PM, Silent Spike wrote: >

Saw this on the local news last night. A 30+ mile diversion is going to cause a few problems over Easter if they can't get it sorted. I am not that close but have mapped this area a bit in the past. No real view either way on adding the restriction to OSM. Good for users who keep their data

If there are parallel tracks visible (even if maybe historic) I would tag it as a track, if a single track is visible then tag it as a footway. Kevin On Thu, Mar 14, 2019, at 3:19 PM, Martin Wynne wrote: > > The path tag is actively being discouraged. > > Which makes it more necessary to have

I have personally deprecated highway=bridleway|byway etc. as the combination of highway=footway|track|service and designation=public_footpath etc. contains more useful information both for map rendering and for active map users. Whether you wan't to do the same is up to you. Kevin On Mon, Mar
