Yesterday on the way back home, I took pictures from a local map at the Amsterdam Arena shopping area near the train station. I've used this picture to update the area in OSM today.

I've wondered in the past whether or not doing just that is actually a copyright violation? After all, if we're not allowed to look at existing maps to add new stuff, then taking a picture of that map would be a really easy work-around. :-)
So, basically, I limit myself to only naming those trails for which I'm absolutely sure, either by actually going there (and taking pictures) or, rarely, because a friend who's familiar with the park tells me the name.
Copyright law is a real pain and I prefer to err on the safe side...

Of course this would be a copyright violation if hagenaah has not gotten the explicit permission to do this.
