Vidar Gundersen, located in Asker outside Oslo, Norway.
I'm mapping my local area and hiking trails around Oslo, Fredrikstad and Løten.
Rendering
I'm maintaining Mapnik style sheets for rendering (1) a hiking map with trails marked by DNT, (2) a skiing map with cross-country skiing tracks prepared by Skiforeningen, and (3) the screen cartography created by the Norwegian Mapping Authority.

Hiking maps for singletrack mountain biking
My main involvement is to map hiking trails suitable for singletrack mountain biking.
Tagging trails:
I mostly use
highway=path
(which deprecates highway=footway
for rural use) and
highway=track
.
I supply extra information with
trail_visibility=*
,
sac_scale=*
,
trailblazed=yes
,
surface=grass,ground,dirt,mud,peet,rock,pebblestone,gravel,boulders,wood
,
access=*
, (foot=*
, bicycle=*
)
tracktype=<grade1-5>
,
piste:type=nordic
, and
information=guidepost
.
Tags that classify use of trails for
mountain biking;
mtb:scale=0-5
,
mtb:type=crosscounty/allmountain/downhill.
To mark trails that need maintenance; Proposed features/Trail clearing and barrier=windfall
Allow inaccurate mapping, but label shortcomings, e.g.
"I know (but not from looking at a map) there is a trail here, but I have no GPS/tracklog", and
mark such data for validation. Current solutions are using
source=survey, knowledge, extrapolation, Yahoo, Landsat
,
fixme=continues, resurvey, stub, position
,
note=*
,
Proposed features/Internal quality.
