Here is a Swedish version of that NY snowmobile map that uses OSM data: http://skoterleder.org/#!map/7/62.4692/17.6440 transaltes to: "snowmobile routes.org" https://github.com/skoterleder/skoterleder.org On Tue, Sep 27, 2016 at 6:42 PM, Kevin Kenny wrote: > Yes, exactly. People tag the ways

I thought sure that I had raised this question before, but a quick troll through the archives doesn't seem to show it. New York State has an extensive network of designated snowmobile routes, intended to be long-distance continuous paths. In some cases, they follow highways, or logging roads on st
