There are also licensing issues. The councils' definitive maps override what is on the ground. The real problem is that the councils hold the database copyrights on this information, so one either has to negotiate a licence, or try to map from the signing on the ground, which may contradict the definitive maps. I actually seem to remember that we are approaching a point where any public right of way not on a definitive map will cease to be one. In practice, I doubt that new public rights of way are being created these days, so being out of date is probably not a problem. (I'm not sure if that applies to long distance footpaths.) _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
