Something that is perhaps not mentioned yet in the discussion: What is the difference with a route in a book and one of a website, e.g. Strava, GPSies, wikiloc, etc. ? Isn't the only difference the way the route is published (print vs. digitial) ? And if you allow those (digital ones), every survey walk can be added as well.
