I am probably oversensitive because I have had cases where I have surveyed repeatedly with gps & photography and noted that in source tags, only to have armchair mappers "correct" the mapping. Although I suspect that in most cases they have just ignored the existing mapping. In this case, I only skimmed the changeset and failed to notice who had made the change. I regularly map not far from this area, and know that bridleways are often obstructed here (and elsewhere). I must say that in situations where I suspect a problem like that, I do usually contact the original mapper to discuss the situation rather than take unilateral action. ael _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
