Thanks. The wording there is:
"OpenStreetMap is a place for mapping things that are both real and
current."
Unfortunately it doesn't define "real" or "current".
What is a "real" bus stop? Does it need a physical marker post or
shelter? Or is it a bus stop if it's just a place listed in the
timetable? Or even just a place where buses often stop on request?
What is a "current" footpath? If I mapped it 5 years ago, how often do I
have to go back and check that it is still there? If it's a public
footpath crossing a field the farmer is allowed 14 days to re-instate it
after ploughing the field. Is it still a "real" footpath for those 14
days? What if I re-visit it on the wrong day?
Martin.
