Something I've mapped (Potlatch2 claims AndyS has modified it - but then I've never quite understood Potlatch2's change list compared to one from the OSM website). I don't think it was marked as a Byway hence I did not mark it as such but feels like one (presumably the reasons for the additions Sailor Steve has made). http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/41984943/history 'Hampshire's maintained highways list' Are you referring to http://www3.hants.gov.uk/roads/highway-factsheets/maintained-roads.htm ? Or something else? However it's hard to search for unamed/unknown ways, such as the above. _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
