(WA has never been in there before - I live in Sydney). Then I selected the area in question as my current location and zoomed in to the 50m level. The attached file shows what it looks like on my Etrex. The footways are much smaller than the roads, and don't really add to the clutter. In fact, when I zoomed in to 8m the display became less cluttered. So I guess we can really map whatever detail we feel comfortable with.The footways along Duoro Road and Harbour Street (but not the one between them!) do not carry any information IMHO, but clutter the map display, especially on GPS units. With three times as much nodes per meter of the street(the actual road + 2 footways), data processing and editing is getting ever more resource hungry. Richard |
