Unpaved centerline miles outnumber paved centerline miles by around 3:1 in Oklahoma and closer to 7:1 in Oregon (with over 60 of those unpaved centerline miles being Portland city streets!).</div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>It feels like the map orients itself to urban mapping too much. My stereo type is that if an urbanite runs into a dirt road they usually tag it as a track. I laughed when I came a cross dirt road that was silky smooth and could comfortably fit three semi-tractor trailers as a highway=track. Or there is the well maintained AZ 88[1] that was downgraded to unclassified from tertiary[2] presumably because the road is unpaved. There are mile markers, a state ref number, and at least one hotel.</div><div><br></div><div>I've used a number of these phone applications. Each has their strengths and weaknesses. Pick one or more to meet your mapping needs. In the case of <span style="font-size:12.8px">StreetComplete I thought that the whole point of the application was to read OSM data; ask a few questions; and change the map. There's another weakness of the application.
