Hi Steve, Try looking at the data. There are POIs such as toilets and car parking at the entrance to the National Park, hard to map from an armchair (unless it's a luxurious toilet seat!). Though they might be short-term visitors, they could be better to contact. These are the ones that seemed to have actually visited the area: http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/inamura3520014 http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/GO_OSM http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/ghanafriend http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Choquette33 http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/MiSu http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Jean-Marc%20Liotier
ITO World's tool might also be helpful for you (requires login) as it shows a map of ways colour-coded per user. This will still show armchair mappers, but there can be more signs as to whether they are/aren't. http://www.itoworld.com/product/osm/map Greg.
