- get_flomped 2y agoI agree. However, I have not found a reliable, free data source yet. Do you have recommendations?
- eliaspro 2y agoAt least here in Europe, surface type and quality is available for the majority of trails in OpenStreetMap
- get_flomped 2y agoThat's true, I understood his comment more like he wants automatic updates about how well-maintained a specific trail is.
- terr-dav 2y agoWhat springs to mind is the use of Mastodon handles for contributing trail info and discussion of information being contributed. The only major hang-up is balancing privacy and trustworthiness of the information being contributed. Perhaps an open solution like this will emerge as people grow tired of profit-driven services like Strava, AllTrails, TrailForks, etc.
