I treat tracks as service roads for farmer and forestry vehicles. Everything else is highway=service or something else. If it goes to a settlement, it’s highway=unclassified + surface=unpaved. The general rule for highways is to map road usage with the highway=* tag, and map the road surface with the surface=* tag. So don’t just put the highway=track tag just because it’s unpaved. That’s what surface=* is for.

Highways are just the highest step in road clasification. That tag shouldn’t describe physical properties of a road, that’s the job for specialized tags.

Great job! Keep it up, and create some competition with the surrounding towns.

Is there a rule about languages in India? It would be great if you used the name:as and name:en tags. There are probably people who know only Assamese, and if you use name:en, applications know what label to show the tourists.

OsmAnd for recording gps, audio and photos and looking at offline maps, Vespucci for OSM editing. Some like OSMtracker for recording gps, audio, photos as well as various features from a list of buttons. For addresses there is Keypad-Mapper.

And before realignmenting roads, know that Bing background might be misaligned. In Potlatch click GPS, and then align the background to GPS traces made by other people. Hold space and drag background.

Best field editor ever. There’s so much stuff I would have never mapped without it. Do they have a “donate” button somewhere?
