A bit related the missing ways/paths. Wegspotter added a path somewhere with name etc. and trail_visibility=no. It goes straight through a field. When one is there, there is no path to be seen (trail_visibility indeed = no), no sign with the name, a ditch that one has to jump to follow the invisible path.
It is tempting to remove the path, but for now I just disconnected it from the road, due to the ditch. What do others think about such a situation? I guess it is somehow described that there is a path there, but I would not dare to pass the field there... regards m p.s. I doubt you you can turn an armchair mapper into a survey mapper by using a tool. They will probably start thinking how they can automate the job :-) But it is worth trying.
