<div dir="ltr">Something that is perhaps not mentioned yet in the discussion:<div><br></div><div>What is the difference with a route in a book and one of a website, e.g. Strava, GPSies, wikiloc, etc. ? Isn't the only difference the way the route is published (print vs. digitial) ? And if you allow those (digital ones), every survey walk can be added as well.</div><div><br></div><div>regards </div><div><br></div><div>m (aka Escada)</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Sep 20, 2015 at 8:45 AM, Pee Wee <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:piewie32@gmail.com" target="_blank">piewie32@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><br></div>On<a href="https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-be/2015-September/007805.html" target="_blank"> Talk-BE</a> this question was asked. Since this is a question that applies not only to Belgium I thought it would be good to raise the question here. User Escada asked the same question on <a href="https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/45377/can-we-map-hiking-routes-found-in-books" target="_blank">OSM help</a> that there is not much response there.<br><br></div><div>Also on the <a href="http://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=32678" target="_blank">Dutch forum </a>this question was asked. Much to my surprise there seem to be quite a few that think it is OK to have these non way marked routes in OSM. Main argument is that there are also other non visible elements in OSM (such as administrative boundaries, bus routes etc.).<br><br></div><div>To keep discussion simple I suggest that we assume that the author of the booklet/website etc, in which a route is described allows us to enter this in OSM.
