can send you pics of residential roads in tiger/osm/garmin/google… absolute impassable overgrown. Tiger is full of dead data. Google managed lately to remove railways which don't exist for ages. if an area with dead data was't filled with something new no one will ever fix it because it's impassable. no survey possible, areal images don't help in forests. so it will stay there forever > This is an interesting example.
