Alwyn,

From your response it appears that you have misunderstood the issue I am raising. 

OpenStreetMap the database you are adding data to is for mapping existing map data. Data that is "on the ground" and can be verified by others. Also, the data in OpenStreetMap is available with an odbl licence, and any data entered must be able to comply with that licence. 

Therefore we MUST NOT enter data of the type you have. That is a personal route. It does not matter if you delete it later. The data is being constantly accessed by end users who will assume the route you created officially exists. Your route, for example, could end up being printed on a map outside a railway station.

You've also just stated you use  Street Imagery in your mapping. You provided date details for imagery. The locations and dates suggest it is Google StreetView Imagery. OpenStreetMap can not use any data from Google Maps. The terms and conditions of use of Google Maps specifically ban this action.

I personally can not follow this up for a few days. I think there are a few problems that need to be dealt with by the Data Working Group. And I am going to send this group an email asking for their input.

If you wish to create, manage, save your own route, I can strongly recommend looking at apps (websites) such which use OpenStreetMap data. eg
- Komoot
- Outdoor Active
- OsmAnd 
- OS Maps (Explore)
