Hi
If you're using local authority data/os open data to map paths, as a
contributor current is in Somerset, please don't assume their layout
corresponds with what's on the ground or is more accurate than what's
mapped in OSM. These official ways are often outdated, being based on
redundant features such as grubbed up fences & hedgerows. Gate & stiles
occasionally get moved. These tweaks often don't make it back to the
Definitive Map.
Please verify using this data doesn't make OSM less accurate.
Cheers
DaveF
