A week would allow you to collect more features though, footpaths, 
bridleways, cycleways, and the condition of all of those.  Then add in 
points of interest.

My main use for maps is cycle navigation, for that, what I want to know is 
off-road tracks and what sort of bike I can take on them, then I want to 
know what features there are, so I know I'm going right when I pass the 
church etc.

Maps with features also look a lot neater, and are more what people who've 
grown up with the OS maps expect.  It'd be great if we could capture all 
these things.

It's a good idea Steve, I'd be up for it.

Jim.
