Agreed. I think we'll have almost all of the NCN mapped by the end of this year, so the "it's incomplete" argument won't even be valid. There are places in the OS / Sustrans map where it doesn't match the ground. I've since notified them of the necessary corrections, but it was much simpler with OSM: Enter the data correctly in the first place and just wait for the tiles to render.

I started to read through that forum thread, it's really interesting and good to see other people getting involved. I even spotted someone from Devon going for mapping their area, wonderful to have hope that the West Country will eventually be mapped.

Let us know your itinerary when you know it so the rest of us can plan our 2009 explorations accordingly! If you're going through South Wales, it might be more fruitful from a mapping point of view to follow NCN47 (largely unmapped) from Carmarthen to Llanelli. And I'd recommend NCN47 from Fishguard to Carmarthen, even though it's fully mapped: the journey over the Preseli Hills is much more enjoyable IMO than the coastal route. cheers Richard _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb -- Gregory nomoregra...@gmail.com http://www.livingwithdragons.com
