[talk-au] US Trails Working Group

[Phil Wyatt]

Hi Folks,

 

Definitely worth a follow especially if you have an interest in informal tracks/paths/pads and maybe even historical routes that don’t appear on the ground. I certainly don’t agree with all their statements (especially …. Good coverage of all trails (including closed or illegal ones) is essential for some mapping applications, such as firefighting and SAR.) but its also interesting that its now coming up as a major issue for US National Parks and reserves managers. In Tasmania its been known as an issue since the early 1990’s

 

I think lots of their issues will require close cooperation with the map renderers to be in any way effective.

 

Cheers - Phil

Just noticed mention of this in the weekly Newsletter:

Looks like something that we should be following with interest?

 

Thanks
