Canoe routes doesn't render because few are mapped, and because few are interested in. Hiking routes and ski pistes are some niche data that get rendered by specialty maps. A specialty map dedicated to this kind of routes could be a nice and not so big project as a tile overlay, maybe along with with whitewater tags if you're looking for another hobby? This usually helps in the long run to have more people interested in mapping stuff like this. Yves
