I believe I recall seeing that Kansas already has erected USBR 66 signs. I'm down to map any segment west of Joplin (I'm familiar with US 66 up to that point). On Wed, Oct 16, 2013 at 7:40 PM, KerryIrons irons54vor...@sbcglobal.netwrote: OSM mappers: As you may know from past discussions

Great to see progress on this, kudos to you and Steve both for investing all that time in this great project! (I am saying this as an OSM contributor as well as an ACA member and planner of a long distance bike trip) Would it be possible to turn this around and have ACA members that know these

Paul, No, KS has not even engaged in defining a route for USBR 66 (though it would be a very short segment across the SE corner of the state). I'm collecting all the responses and will get everyone up to speed once the list of mappers is stable. I'll keep you posted. Kerry -Original

Yes, another ringing endorsement for Battlegrid. I used it quite a bit at yesterday's DC #editathon. It's very helpful in finding alignment needles in haystacks of TIGER/OSM data. Also, thanks to Mele for pulling together a great #editathon how-to. Lots of good stuff there. SEJ -- SEJ --

Martijn, In many cases Adventure Cycling members do not know these routes. USBRs are developed by the states and do not always follow existing Adventure Cycling routes for various reasons. In addition the Adventure Cycling route network is about 45,000 miles while a fully developed USBR

Hey Kerry - thanks for clarifying and for bearing with me as I learn about long distance routes around here. 250,000 miles. Wow. That is a very impressive number. No Utah routes? :) If there are, I'd be more than happy to lend a hand. On Mon, Oct 21, 2013 at 3:08 PM, KerryIrons

All true Mike, but that has not translated into a commitment by KS to work towards route designation. Without that commitment we don't have a basis to do anything. Kerry -Original Message- From: Mike Dupont [mailto:jamesmikedup...@googlemail.com] Sent: Monday, October 21, 2013 6:39 PM
