HMm. For some reason having <div>highway=track + area=yes </div><div>doesn't sound right to me.<br clear="all"><div><div><br></div><div>I'll comment on the road tagging separately with a bit better time but to me there are two problems:</div>
<div>- area=yes doesn't make the _area_ routable. All of your routes through this area (with the current routing engines, that is) would go via the boundary. .. This is not a problem for small areas. .. And the problem can be avoided by drawing ways through the area. .. But that's what you're trying to avoid here, right? </div>
<div>- for some reason I find "track" a slightly difficult area road type tag. .. Track implies (to me) more or less rough surface and possibly 4wd_only. While I have no idea how the surface is in the linked area it just doesn't seem to fit well.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Did the idea of adding highway=track + area=yes to the landcover=bare_earth come from merely the attempt to avoid drawing tracks through the area?</div><div><br></div><div>Just my quick thoughts,</div>

Hi,<div><br></div><div>I understand the problem - many tracks and paths going together to a space of bare land where they are no more recognizable.</div><div>I have never used the tag landcover=bare_earth and couldnt find anything on the Taginfo either. </div>
<div>I will be happy if anyone could check and share his view. The result on OSM is here: </div><div><a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=6.539969&lon=21.977844&zoom=18&layers=M" target="_blank">http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=6.539969&lon=21.977844&zoom=18&layers=M</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>Personally I think it is too much work, it will never be too precise (the level of greenness changess throughout the year) and it is not a priority in this first phase of TM mapping</div><div><br></div>
