Although it wouldn't be suitable for creating ways where they don't exists in OSM, it could be used to tag ways and relations that already exist, in a similar way to the National Cycle Network. But that requires the data to be published in a useful format, under a useful licence.<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div> </body>
