Hello from over the pond... Here in the UK, several volunteers for Sustrans - the charity that runs the National Cycle Network - are involved with OSM (I'm one; Andy Allan, developer of OpenCycleMap, is another; but I think there's probably around a dozen in all). The upshot of this is that the routes as shown on OpenCycleMap are usually very accurate - on occasion, even, more up-to-date than the mapping on www.sustrans.org.uk itself. I'd encourage you and the ACA to follow this lead and find a small number of people who might be prepared to bring their detailed subject knowledge of the US Bicycle Route network to OSM. OSM always works best when it's populated by people with real knowledge, rather than the guesswork involved in "armchair mapping". cheers Richard -- View this message in context: http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/Re-US-Bicycle-Routes-in-KY-TN-AL-MS-and-GA-tp5752481p5752606.html Sent from the USA mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
