Sustrans Connect2

An OSM project to map the forthcoming Sustrans Connect2 walking and cycling projects as they are built around the UK.

An international cycling map created from OSM data is available, provided by Andy Allan. The map rendering is still being improved, the data are updated every few days. It shows National Cycle Network cycle routes, other regional and local routes, and other cycling-specific features, such as: dedicated cycle tracks and lanes contours and hill colouring bicycle parking bike shops, toilets, drinking fountains, even pubs! proposed bike routes (or numbering protocols), contrasted with the Lonvia map, below, which does not show proposed routes, but actual routes only http://www.opencyclemap.org/

CyclOSM A free cycle-oriented map with more features than OpenCycleMap. See its wiki page CyclOSM.

Waymarked Trails: Cycling by Sarah Hoffman is a layer superimposed over mapnik (Standard Map Layer) which shows marked cycle routes around the world. Updated minutely, it renders actual routes without the state=proposed tag. Therefore no proposed routes (or proposed numbering protocols) are displayed.

• See Cycle routes for information on tagging NCN routes.
• See United Kingdom National Cycle Network for the status of mapping the wider National Cycle Network.

The planning application for the rest of the Crab & Winkle Way extension was granted permission. --Gregoryw 17:00, 9 September 2010 (BST) The above-mentioned bridges are now to be delivered outside of Connect2, but the Connect2 monies will be spent on an alternative route in Whitstable (Extension of the Oyster Bay Trail to connect with the Crab & Winkle Way).

Key:

• Tracks means that the GPS tracks for the route have been uploaded to OSM
• Mapped means that nodes and ways have been created from the GPS tracks
• Labelled means that the ways have been appropriately labelled as a cycle path, see the cycleway key on Map Features.
