Cachers of the World (well, UK) Unite! Take up your GPS devices and rebel against poor footpath coverage OK polemic over hahaha! HOWEVER did you know that the maps on the GC.COM website and phone apps, come from OpenStreetMap - and that the data on OpenStreetMap comes, in turn, from people like us? Its a community project, and its dead easy to create yourself a free account and add detail to the map around where you live - and as a cacher, your GPS tracks are IDEAL for adding - in particular - footpaths! It really is easy to do, and the benefits are almost immediate: you add the data for, say, a missing footpath and within a day or so it will be included in the worldwide online maps to the benefit of all users (notably, us cachers). Read how here: wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Beginners%27_guide Please do get involved with this... its massively beneficial - especially in areas like Beds where the %^&*** county council cant seem to get their bums in gear to publish an electronic version of their Rights of Way map...
