Hi Andy, as you can see there are a few red spots in the south-west of the Netherlands. I tagged a few paths as national cycleroute there. But current we cannot zoom in there, because the maps weren’t rendered. We can proceed tagging more routes once we are sure they are rendered somewhere. Thanks in advance….

Andy – not that I know of, I’m afraid.

I got 39 miles of NCN 57 under my belt today while the weather was still fine – will map it when the API wakes up…

I’ve been busy over the last few days interrogating the latest planet file for routes that have got the route number in their tags, but not in the official ?cn_ref tags (e.g. some routes just had the name “NCN 9″). So, there’ll be a scattering of a few more routes appearing in your next refresh. On that note, you may wish to extend your coverage a little further West at zoom level 8 and below, just in case whomever originally mapped that route chooses to survey some more.

Do we get any detailed notes with Simon Berry’s tracklogs? I read some of his weblog where he mentioned missing bits out, so I’m not sure whether we’ll be able to tell which bits are on the ncn routes or not.

One advantage of winter months is that everyone stops planning weekends away, and might be able to concentrate on doing mapping instead!

Very impressive!

Sadly, I suspect it might slow down a bit over the winter months – fewer opportunities to go out in the dark evenings, and less conducive weather over the weekends.

Though hopefully we’ll have Simon Berry’s end-to-end NCN tracklogs before long, which might provide an opportunity for some mapping; and I’ll map NCN 8 once I can get Potlatch working with the NPE tiles (which isn’t going to be easy…).

Gerco-Kees – of course. Do you know of any location where they are using the cycle routes tags? I can certainly add the netherlands into the basemap, but as the main focus is currently on the national and city routes I’m not sure if there’s much data. If you can give me a url of a location you’re interested in particularly, I can have a look and see what’s there.

Hi,
Nice and impressive work. Is it possible to render cycle routes in the Netherlands as well? The dutch cyclists would very much appreciate that…..

Wow, the ever expanding coverage is impressive.

The contours look interesting, will be interesting to see how they form.
