In my experience of hiking trails in Ireland, the length advertised on-site and in leaflets is often 10-20% off (as measured by my treking GPS that takes relief into account). I expect OSM + SRTM to be more precise. YMMV of course. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
