I have noticed an anomaly in the MapThePaths site. Normally,
clicking on a PROW shows its designation. But in my area, it does
not seem to work if the path is within an access area. For example,
footpath 505 008 (Blawith, Cumbria) crosses the access area
boundary. Clicking outside the access area shows the reference.
Inside the access area does not. If you close the OSM footpaths
layer, the click then works.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

To follow up an email of just over a week ago, I have now
updated the MapThePaths Android app (<a

moz-do-not-send="true">https://mapthepaths.org.uk/app.html</a>;

so that tagged GPS traces can be created. You can record a GPS
trace, and tag each segment (GPX <trkseg>) with the
current path designation and path type (grass path, dirt track,
paved service road, etc) by means of drop-down lists.</div>

The GPS traces can be uploaded to OSM and to the MapThePaths
server. The high-level designation and path types are converted
to OSM highway, designation and surface tags, and each track
segment tagged with these three tags.</div>

As I said in my original email, one of my aims is to provide a
way for OSM beginners to easily survey rights of way. The UI is
still very rudimentary; I am not a UX expert so what would be
really nice is for someone with good UX skills to come up with a
better UI aimed at allowing beginners to easily use the app. My
general idea is that users can select high-level, unambiguous
designations (public footpath, etc) and path types (grass path,
dirt track etc) via the UI. If I get some nice designs, which
the community is happy with as a whole, plus some nice graphics,
I'm quite happy to then use those designs and graphics in code.</div>

The other component then needed is the JOSM plugin (either a new
one or, probably bettter, a modification of an existing one -
I'm thinking of the KML plugin that was mentioned - as we
discussed last week) to allow the tagged traces to be imported
into JOSM for use by experienced mappers to actually create the
OSM ways. An alert system would be nice also, to alert
experienced users of any new traces in their area.</div>

I have also added a new option to turn off the 'snap map to
current GPS location' feature, allowing users to pan the map
around.</div>
