I agree that it’s easier to make edits and changes when the geometry doesn’t overlap, and that’s probably why people often recombine the pistes when they see I’ve split them into separate ways. It’s likely a losing battle, but I think it’s worth trying to maintain the separation for all the reasons I mentioned earlier, as it helps with accuracy.

Ultimately, though, I’m not the final say, so you and others can make different choices. That said, I’ve made a lot of edits to the Nordic routes throughout the state, and since I know you do a lot of mapping, you’ll probably encounter other Nordic routes I’ve mapped. I wanted to communicate the logic behind these choices so you can decide whether to continue this approach or not, but at least you’ll understand the reasoning and intent behind it.

Your change wasn’t significant, so it’s entirely up to you whether to revert it or not. If not, I might revisit it at some point.
