Re: [Talk-GB] driveway-becomes-track

Hi, I tend to think of tagging more in terms of 'who will use this?' I know my local area extremely well, so I map it as best I can using tags that will make sense to anyone visiting the area. When I'm away from home I use OSM extensively to find things, and hope that the local mappers are using a
