Hi,

Had a quick look at https://opencanalmap.uk/about/ particularly the Canal & River Trust license link at the bottom, it clearly states

3.1 This licence does not permit the use of: .........3.1.4Data for or in connection with or for the direct or indirect benefit of any Commercial Purpose; and

so I think that the data does not meet OSM license requirements particularly Commercial purposes.

However canoeing data does seem to be something that OSM should work with.

For some time I did wonder why this information is not available on OSM (or at least not complete)

Have you seen this project:
https://opencanalmap.uk/about/

One thing that puzzles me is fact that this open data is merged with google maps. Wouldn't be easier to have it on OSM?

Cheers,

    I was in holiday in North Wales last week and mapped the biggest
    remaining gap, east from Aberdaron:

    https://hiking.waymarkedtrails.org/#?map=13!52.8079!-4.6498

    That leaves three smaller gaps around the central Cardigan Bay
    coastline, between Barmouth and Borth:

    https://hiking.waymarkedtrails.org/#?map=15!52.6483!-4.0907
    https://hiking.waymarkedtrails.org/#?map=14!52.4981!-4.0189
    https://hiking.waymarkedtrails.org/#?map=15!52.5799!-3.9411

    plus one short one in South Wales near Gowerton:

    https://hiking.waymarkedtrails.org/#?map=15!51.6472!-4.0787

    Fixing these will mean not only that the WCP is complete in OSM, but
    also, as far as I can tell, that we have full coverage of National
    Trails in England & Wales. So if anyone's going on holiday to West
    Wales, or the Gower, please do map the missing bits and we'll be
    complete.

    cheers
    Richard

    By 'collect some relevant info' I mean 'document your findings
    from asking
    questions on Talk lists and poking round the wiki'. Before
    constructing any
    grand new project pages, I would add a section to a relevant UK
    page. This
    _could_ spin off into a new page later, or it might provoke the
    response
    of, "but this is documented here on .... page", or people might
    join in.
    Either way, everyone wins.

    A search on
    https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?search=canoe and
    https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?search=kayak throws up some
    pages. The https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:route%3Dcanoe
    caught my
    eye as I didn't know that canoe routes were signed/plotted.

    My best experience with the wiki comes from writing
    https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Renewable_energy_in_the_United_Kingdom
    By writing up the situation in the UK and working-in-the-open on a
    personal
    project to locate wind farms, I have found other people who were also
    interested, and it has led (partially) to the solar quarterly project.

    The OSMWiki is organised in places, chaotic in other places, and
    frustrating in many.....but it is *ours*. I appeal to all UK
    Mappers to
    make it a good place to be.

        Interesting. There must be some waterways fans around here
        somewhere. I
        can see some pages like
        https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Whitewater_Maps
        which
        focus on one aspect of canoeing, and some countries appear to
        have marked
        routes.

        As a UK Mapper you could add to
        https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_waterways
        and collect
        some info relevant to UK canoeists.

            Hello all

            I've started to map some features useful (I hope) to
            canoeists such as
            myself.
            Eg, https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/73814496
            (Irthlingborough
            Lock)
            Eg, https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/73815104
            (bottom right)

            However, there seems to be quite a lack of objects on the
            wiki that are
            suitable. (Full disclosure: I'm an occasional, rather
            inexpert mapper.)

            Is this the place to discuss?

            Edward
