Hello robram2004,

thank you for replying.

it's not about absolutely not mapping things with strava. It's about being very careful with the sources you use and the places you use them in.

If there's only a hint of trails someplace and no other evidence and you haven't been there personally it's not a good idea to map a path. It's also never a good idea to map a "highway=footway" somewhere in the forest where you haven't been.

If you've been someplace and you have seen a path going somewhere it's ok to use strava to map the path and even make it longer beyond where you saw it. It's a good guess.

I hope you understand what I'm trying to say?

Also, please consult the wiki on all things "highway" before you continue.

You wouldn't wish to think that there's a well trodden path someplace because our data says so and when you get there there's just jungle or desert, right?

safe travels
