From my experiment the main problem is that VMD doesn't show
service roads - which can make the odd footpath disappear in
thin air. This is a shame because I'd like to run a lightweight
map server where only paths with designation tag and
foot=permissive are in the database (I'm forced into this
approach due to limited server capacity) and I don't have to add
anything else such as service roads.<br>
