Hi, Jonas' idea is very good!!! after looking for information on mtbiking trails, I found osm. But after a short look, i thought it would be of no use, being focused on streets and didn't look at it any more (for some month), until someone told me were to look in osm. And now: it's just what

Hi Tim, the one reason I help in OSM is something, which you can't do with google...: Tagging ways for a specific purpose. In my case for mountainbiking. (Use mountainbike as search-string). On http://openmtbmap.org/ you can download OSM based Maps especially rendered for biking, with routing
