I to have reservations about some Bing image imports. I helped a twelve year old enter a footway, we carefully made a GPS trace, checked the features page and decided it was a footway not a path, added it JOSM and uploaded both the GPS trace and the footway under my name. Patrick was very proud of having contributed his footway to OSM.
I noticed recently it's been replaced by a "highway=path" sourced from Bing. Cheerio John On 3 December 2011 11:37, Stewart C.
