I had an interesting experience related to my first mapping project. I was trying find convenient entry points into a new local fitness trail to check it out. Although there is an official Google map with a GPX trace, it's hard to find entry points, parking, etc because they're a bit hidden behind trees. The paper map is still preliminary and didn't help. So I set out to map the trail in detail. Then I wondered if anyone else locally would be interested in it also, so I searched for forums where people have historically talked about the trail. I found a good one, registered, and waited. Then the question came for which I had the answer:
http://www.city-data.com/forum/greenville-spartanburg-area/714284-swamp-rabbit-trail-help.html Although my trail is nothing in terms of elegance and artwork, it worked perfectly for the answer. The few landmarks shown have special meaning because they are historically relevant or sponsors of the trail. I swear that neither the questioner or the last poster is a "sock puppet" account!
