How are people mapping National Park (or state forest or other government mandated areas)? It seems that in a lot of cases, there is no way of actually doing an on the ground survey - a lot of the boundaries aren't marked, the areas can be massively inaccessible etc.
Add to that things like marine park boundaries, or no fishing areas which are often defined on marine maps as just a set of GPS locations (and there is obviously no way of physically mapping those areas), and it seems there are a lot of things that we have to rely on getting the data from other sources for.(I include marine park/no fishing areas as my partners father asked about it - I see no good reason why such features couldn't be added to OSM) Question is: is it legit to use park/forest boundaries taken from government sources? If not, how on earth are we going to solve this little problem?
