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.

Shaun

I was checking why a bike route from near Derby to Alton Towers was     really

Derbyshire has been cunningly disguising their ability     to connect ways 
together. I've not come across such a consistently     bad area before (naive I 
know).
