Hi
I'm a french mtb rider known on french MTB community VTTour.fr
I created a website that indexes many of mtb sites, giving GPX tracks.
The name of the site is
VTTrack
You can choose base map from Google, OSM, French IGN, Swiss Topo, Spain...
Everythink is still in French, i'm of course interested for help for translation.
i have been
named in your famous website GPsies.com
By the way, is there a website that present singletracks with related cotation
SingleScala AND adequate description (not only cotation).
On VTTrack we present also
OSM tracks, with correspondance to the cotation system we use (basicaly the same, just starting from 1 instead of zero).
Enjoy
(i'm of course interested for any remark !)
My impression about this OSM trail db is that it is not the right way to do trail identification.
I mean many thing is missing :
- rider impression
- photos
- path description
The cotation alone is quite useless (excluding the fact that a cotation is very subjective).
I made i small research "how many trails > 3000m above the sea in OSM/SS db"
The result is
Here (combining filter and grid modes of VTTrack)
There only 7 trails. If now you active the "French" layer "Sentiers", you will find many many trails in France, Swiss, Italy.
My conclusion is that this OSM db is not used by
you famous riders.
