<div dir="ltr"><div>Hello Peter<br></div><div><br></div><div>I think that many alternatives could exist as 'transfer' to join different route sections. Some people could choose a train, others by bus, rent a car,... I'm thinking about the w:E4_European_long_distance_path proposed to reach Canary Island. You can transfer by plane or by ferry using some different routes. Are you planning to map only one of the possible transfer routes? If one, which? If there are many ones, how will you deal when there are many subjective options (you can go by motor vehicle using the shortest route, the fastest, the beautiest and so on)?</div><div><br></div><div>Regards</div><div>Javier Sanchez<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">El mar, 10 ago 2021 a las 20:51, Peter Elderson (<<a href="mailto:pelderson@gmail.com">pelderson@gmail.com</a>>) escribió:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>I am in a discussion with French mappers of hiking routes (GR).<br></div><div>They are completing and correcting all GR's in France, and creating QA tooling and a presentation site. </div><div><br></div><div>They need a solution for sections of long trails which require a transfer.
