<div class="moz-cite-prefix">A route should be verifiable on the
ground.<br>
<br>
Verifiable via publication (paper, website etc) should not be used
as a reason to add to OSM. Where would you stop? Would you, for
instance, allow someone who writes an internet blog 'Where I walk
my dog' & displays a GPX of the route? As Frederick has
pointed out, there are exceptions but doesn't validate these
routes inclusion.<br>

On<a moz-do-not-send="true"

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 moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/45377/can-we-map-hiking-routes-found-in-books">OSM
help</a> that there is not much response there.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Also on the <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=32678">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. (no copyright
issue)<br>

What do you think?<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Is is OK to have (walking) routes in OSM that have no
visible marks on the ground and if so under what conditions?<br>
<br>
