Maybe it's only evident when you have local knowledge? ; )

Seriously, I could imagine a situation where handing people a map with
parks outlined and asking them to fill in the trails with GPX tracks might
be a bit less daunting than giving them a blank map and asking them to
figure out park boundaries (usually something that you would defer to an
expert to share) as well as the trails.

But, that's just my guess - I'm curious what Jason's perspective might be.
