[Talk-GB] Derbyshire area unconnected

[Shaun McDonald]

Hi,

I have come across a few mappers in the past who have put in a huge amount of effort to map their town, but were not aware of the connectivity or the importance of. When I have explained it to them and shown them some routing service that they hadn't come across before, they are generally happy to learn from their mistake, especially if you give some help with the editor and be very specific about how to make the adjustments. Maybe there is a specific tutorial or video that can now be linked to.

I think your link is to the wrong location.

I've not come across such a consistently bad area before (naive I know).
