I considered that remark yesterday while driving at > 80kmh on a well made unsurfaced road in what is probably a second-world country, although the term has never been commonly used. My rough method of deciding track or road would be: A track is made by feet or wheels and is not 'improved'. A road will have had work done on it to 'improve' the surface, for example with a grader. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
