[QUOTE="AlwynWellington, post: 1138778, member: 13479"] [USER=52787]@trecile[/USER], thank you I can only say that Mapy.cz (and my variant Hiking.WayMarkedTrails.org - see the link in post #57 above) are both beautiful when seen looking down from the proverbial helicopter. Both examples, by the way, draw from Open Street Maps (OSM): by looking at the underlying history, I can see this alternative route to Molinaseca was placed in the OSM data base in 2015 - so not new. While I love Open Street Maps and have add many routes and other stuff to the data base, it is a different matter to have the Android apps (and for other platforms) give me step by step, turn by turn advice. There can be a few steps to be taken in the app and the battery drain can be quite high. The issue that [USER=42372]@Bradypus[/USER] (see post 63 above) and others (and I suspect me, had I actually walked that way) have is absolutely normal: where to turn on you way through Riego. The issue is quite simply explained. [LIST] [*]The street to turn into per you example #1 is called Calle Las Chinchillas - this street is not signposted [*]There is a sign saying Puentes las Mapaso (see my first image post #62) on this street - this sign does not face the pilgrim coming down the hill from Acebo etc. [*]Nor does this sign indicate any destinations [*]The other streets in the immediate vicinity are potentially a rabbit warren - while yellow arrows (VF) may be clear to walkers, I could not see any in the immediate area in the limited number of street level images. And I note the official route is bearing to the right at about this point - this factor may cause way finding attention to stray and/or be conflicted. [/LIST] In my view getting this route better known is still work in progress. The suggestion so far is for two signs to be installed on the down hill site of Calle Las Chinchillas. One would just repeat the existing sign on the uphill side (Las Puentes las Malpoaso) The second would say, in Spanish of course, "alternative to Molinaseca". Or words to that effect. [USER=52787]@trecile[/USER], are you game? kia kaha (take care, be strong) [/QUOTE]
