| 86000525 | over 5 years ago | Whilst I am especially adept at following trails, I find these that I mapped to be quite easily found and followed and it is my practice to use flagging tape in places where others may go astray for added safety. Because you were unable to find the trails, I shall re-hike the area to ascertain if they exist still before I re-state the paths. I am reluctant to delete bush paths mapped by others that become difficult to follow state because they can be quickly improved by renewed use by hikers once they are aware of their existence through the osm map.
Many of us quite like to follow the less travelled ways and really enjoy following though bush areas that have difficult to follow paths. These should be mapped and tagged appropriately even if faintly visible at times. I would like to see mappers add text descriptions to section of trails where it would benefit hikers but this is rarely done in practice but is probably best done in other places like wikiloc instead.

| 86000525 | over 5 years ago | Response from Joris received by email and pasted here for completeness... I saw your message about deleted trails off Lepidozamia. I surveyed there just before my edits, and did not spot the deleted trails as being visible. Main issue is that OSM data may get used different than mappers may expect. I know ‘trails’ like the Mt Everest ascent route are mapped as just highway=path and get rendered on hiking apps as regular hiking trails similar to e.g. an officially maintained park trail. For example : way/518618562#map=14/27.9858/86.8937 Hikers can get confused or lost when trying to follow a trail visible on the map yet invisible in nature. The original idea about highway=path (or footway) was a properly accessible and visible way to go, without being guided on the step by an app. OSM has no provisions for ‘poorly visible’ trails as none of the mappers or apps I know of manages such distinction. Mapnik also shows them as ‘regular’ The tags may be used by routing apps, but not by renderers. Hence, I still feel confident only visible trails should be mapped as such. The alpine route exceptions that came into practice is by lack of other means. But it is as shortcoming of both OSM and any mapping app that a ‘route’ and a proper trail cannot be told apart properly. |

I suggest you use something like https://osmybiz.osm.ch/#/9/-27.49122/152.67700

| 90159120 | over 5 years ago | That’s fine, maybe add a description similar to the one you added here bhttps://www.openstreetmap.org/way/452202513 would be helpful.
