OpenStreetBugs, OpenStreetMap (Score:1)
if you know the path well enough to trace it from yahoo imagery, you gan create an osm id and add it without using a GPS. Is is purlely a footpath or a bikepath by intent? My GPS is too far from London, and I do not know it so shalln't trace it. Meantime I have marked it on http://openstreetbugs.appspot.com/?lat=51.53601&lon=-0.29349&zoom=16 [appspot.com] where a local may find it and fi it.

It's over 5 years since I've been there, and I have no idea if it's a footpath only, or some form of path [naturenet.net] where bikes are allowed. So, I don't feel qualified to trace it out. In particular, as I alluded to, the route south of the bridge is ambiguous, and likely exactly one of the two possible choices is legally designated the path.

right. well, we've marked it for the locals on the bug map. either the bike-mappers or urban ramblers will pick it up.
(we'll be talking OSM at Boston.PM's September meeting.)
feel free to trace anything missing where you travel currently,
