I'm with you on that Nick ... Farm tracks around here are very useful reference points on the ground so should be visible on a map as well but unless there are signs up restricting access it is often difficult to know. One well surfaced road has now 'grown' a 'private - no access' sign, but one would not remove it from the map, only add the restriction. The ramblers are probably the best for pushing the boundaries on just what are RoW and border line cases ;) But even on the ground, access rights are often not obvious. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
