Here is a global map view showing highway=footway in blue and<br>
highway=path in brown.<br>

There is indeed something like an 80/20 split in the UK with noticeable<br>
enthusiasm for 'path' in some parts of the country and a noticable<br>
preference for its use in the countryside over the town. In Germany the<br>
preference is stronger.<br>
<br>
This map will remain viewable but will not appear in the pull-down list<br>
of standard views so do please bookmark it if you want to come back to it.<br>

To me, the most significant thing about that map is that it demonstrates how vast swathes of the UK have almost no footpath data at all.</blockquote><div><br>Beware that the map view above is only a comparison between 'footway' and 'path', it does not show anything for bridleway, track, cycleway or unsurfaced.<br>
<br>You may wish find the 'surfaces' view more useful for getting a general insight into path density around the UK and elsewhere. This view does in fact mirror the patchy nature of path data in the UK. <br><a href="http://www.itoworld.com/product/data/ito_map/main?view=25">http://www.itoworld.com/product/data/ito_map/main?view=25</a><br>
