The fact that governments are now opening up data means that we are doing very well in our quest. Thanks to the work of every single contributor. That said, do watch out when comparing both datasets. One of the first differences I found shows a track in the wegenregister that definately doesn't exist: https://api.mapbox.com/styles/v1/joostschouppe/...#17.72/50.94482/3.07103 <https://api.mapbox.com/styles/v1/joostschouppe/cipy8xm3a006bdnncjuo4jc5g.html?title=true&access_token=pk.eyJ1Ijoiam9vc3RzY2hvdXBwZSIsImEiOiJjaWh2djF1c2owMmJrdDNtMWV2c2Rld3QwIn0.9zXJJWZ4rOcspyFIdEC3Rw#17.72/50.94482/3.07103> I have seen that track/path drawn on other topographical maps, and explicitly searched for it, but there's nothing to be found there apart from a ditch (which certainly isn't suited for walking in). If there's a place to report those things, please tell me. There are also some obvious places where the wegenregister is a bit outdated. If there's a place to report these things, please tell me ;) But all in all, it's a great data source to have available (when everyone is a bit sensible on comparing the data). So thanks for everyone who helped making this available. Regards, Sander
