This is done to save money. The result is that from overhead imagery, it may appear not to be gravel, and thus may be incorrectly tagged at a lower tracktype.</div></div></div></div></div><div>_______________________________________________<br>talk mailing list<br><a href="/compose?To=talk@openstreetmap.org">talk@openstreetmap.org</a><br><a href="https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk" target="_blank">https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk</a></div></div></div></div></blockquote> <div> </div><div data-signature-widget="container"><div data-signature-widget="content"><div> </div></div></div><div> </div></div></BODY></HTML>
