[Talk-GB] Somerset Levels Flooding

[Brian Savidge]

I thought temporary information like closures of paths and roads were good to put on the map, if nothing else to allow routing to avoid them.
 
The water I agree is likely to be a bit inaccurate and isn't going to help with the routing, but like a road, those areas will be wet for quite some time (weeks to months), so as long as the person doing it keeps it relatively up to date, I guess there is no real problem.  The real problem comes when its not maintained.
