On Talk-BE <https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-be/2015-September/007805.html> this question was asked. Since this is a question that applies not only to Belgium I thought it would be good to raise the question here. User Escada asked the same question on OSM help <https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/45377/can-we-map-hiking-routes-found-in-books> that there is not much response there.
Also on the Dutch forum <http://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=32678>this question was asked. Much to my surprise there seem to be quite a few that think it is OK to have these non way marked routes in OSM. Main argument is that there are also other non visible elements in OSM (such as administrative boundaries, bus routes etc.). To keep discussion simple I suggest that we assume that the author of the booklet/website etc, in which a route is described allows us to enter this in OSM. (no copyright issue) What do you think? Is is OK to have (walking) routes in OSM that have no visible marks on the ground and if so under what conditions? Cheers Peewee32
