On the other hand, if it's a fixed and well kept trail known to all, I imagine mtb maps showing all kinds of mtb-trails except The Big One that everybody knows. If I were an MTB'ist, I would probably disxcard OSM as unusable, because it doesn't even give the biggest MTB-route on the planet!
I would hope that there are some things along the track dedicated to the route. A "start here" sign, parking space for starting a section, arrangement of stones, sticks, adaptations e.g. to make a crossing possible, anything that shows it's a route. I can't imagine there are no visible signs of a trail at all. Then that would be my excuse to map it! > _______________________________________________ > Tagging mailing list > Tagging@openstreetmap.org > https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging >
