Super-interesting project, thanks for telling and showing! Great to hear 
about other mapper projects in other parts of the world, and great to 
hear about other efforts mapping of the great outdoors, so I know I'm 
not alone :-). The data source situation in Sweden/Scandinavia is quite 
different, but we share many of your challenges too. Very few people 
needing to map very large areas.
