It's always the case that councils have separate views on what counts as a route (generally a line drawn on a map) compared to us (on the ground reality). It's a good example of why we're not blindly accepting the data - local knowledge is key - but if the "fictions" are over-prevalent then I'll enquire as to what's going on, check there isn't a problem with the conversion etc. > Is there anyway to hide the foreground layer as I don't seam to be able to > click the background one once the foreground has loaded.

Again, thanks for the feedback and I can review the conversion.
