[Talk-GB] Advice please: Goat tracks in mountain areas

[Adam Hoyle]

Hey,

2 things:

1) OSMUS (the United States Local Chapter) has created a working group focused on trails, with similar concerns:
https://www.openstreetmap.us/2021/12/osmus-trails-working-group

2) There is a Mapbox channel on the OSMUS Slack, which contains Mapbox employees and they seem quite open to answering questions. So if anyone wants to get to the bottom of why something is rendered, that could be a good place to ask.

Best,

Adam
