I think he may also be wanting to know how many people are consuming map data without being registered with OSM. Unfortunately, the only way I can see to get this estimate would be to contact all of the manufacturers of applications that use this data, whether for mobile apps, desktop apps, web

Paul, You explicitly said that putting 50 mile wide corridors on OSM "would be an important advocacy tool." That does not sound at all like "mapping reality." I spend hundreds of hours a year on the phone, corresponding, and attending meetings to make the USBR a reality. I've personal

Paul you're still ignoring the fact that the only one "proposing" these routes is an OSM mapper. They aren't being proposed by state, regional, or local bike advocates or by state, regional, or local government agencies. And you're ignoring the fact that the consensus of comments from other OSM me
