<p class="ydp440e3fb5MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt">I did get a number of “path is not
connected” error messages, and my paths were in sections – not continuous. A
couple of days after each map was uploaded, OSM began to show the trails, regardless
of the “errors”.<span> </span>Eventually they were
all showing on your website.<span> </span></p>
<p class="ydp440e3fb5MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt">Someone recently told me that the
error could be because ‘tags’ were not the same for the different sections.<span> </span>I edited the tags at Patricia Sprague - - <b>Now
the map/paths are gone</b>.<span> </span>Although the
paths are still there for me to edit (if I wish), they are no longer available
to view up on your website or through geocaching software.</p>

this and how to fix it.</p>
