[OSM-talk] Mapping canals

[Gregory]

"All canals have towpaths"
No. Some canals are now disused so sections of the towpath are gone (now
private land/buildings etc.), some canals aren't for navigation/boats (I
know of one used to supply a fountain by Hampton Court Palace and the
man-made river/canal runs for several miles).

I think locks were changed to nodes rather than ways so the gate was
actually marked and so this was helpful on those staircase locks that have
more than one gate.

I think there is someone on OSM who lives on a canal boat, or does quite a
bit of canal boating. I seem to remember them providing some input into
discussions, but can't remember who they are.
