It’s got a lot of details wrong… it took us five real years (plus one fake pandemic one) to visit every nook and cranny, and they’ve implied things are navigable that sure as heck aren’t — just try and get on the Dee from Chester without a crane except in a lethally high flood, the lock was disassembled years ago — and unnavigable that definitely are (it’s got the Manchester Ship Canal on there, but not the Mersey we crossed to get to it).
- rmc 3y ago(I made WaterwayMap.org) The data is 100% OSM. You edit it to fix it yourself.
- Doctor_Fegg 3y agoThere's a difference between legally navigable and practically navigable. The Dee has a public right of navigation and therefore is tagged as boat=yes in OpenStreetMap. That's not to make any judgement as to whether or not you can get your boat through the Chester weirgate! The Mersey ought to be tagged with boat=yes, though. I'm now wondering about Walton Lock which I think still has a right of navigation though is very definitely impassable...
