OK
- highway=path - dashed black line
- highway=track+car=no - long thick black dashed line
- highway=track+car=yes - long thick red dashed line

No they haven't. Area is approx lat=-33.9753&lon=150.1336 but it's not a 
great area to start with. Geographic items are difficult to map without 
good quality aerial photography, which we don't have for that area 
(Kanangra).

Better would be to start around North Lawson 
(lat=-33.71027&lon=150.43344&zoom=15) or Leura/Wentworth Falls 
(lat=-33.72384&lon=150.3622&zoom=15). I can try and add some more 
geographic features for them, but probably not til next week.
