As some of you know I have a product that combines OS Vector Map<br>
District (OpenData, 1:25,000, no footpaths) with paths from OSM.<br>
I get feedback from users about the completeness of the OSM paths.<br>
It's true that the coverage is very good in the more popular hiking<br>
areas, but there are still plenty of gaps elsewhere. It would be<br>
wrong to imagine that OSM's footpath coverage is "finished"; apart<br>
from the price difference, hikers are right to prefer an OS Explorer<br>
or even Landranger map, IMO.<br>
