Something here causes a route between two waypoints placed either side of the junction between public highway and golf cart track to be formed via Coxbench, rather than a short line between the two. If both waypoints are placed slightly to either the east or west of the cart track, this does not occur. This simple test results from a query elsewhere. The problem persists when placing waypoints at the eastern end of Morley Lane and on Alfreton Road at the western end. Thus, inclusion of Morley Lane in a navigation route can easily result in an error.

osm.org/way/355320343 needs a proper survey to see what the access rights are. My recollection is that all paths across the golf course here that are not public footpaths / bridleways are clearly marked on the ground as private.

The footpath osm.org/way/368140495#map=16/52.9848/-1.6272 needs survey. It's been added based on out-of-copyright maps, yet based on a ground survey of the road I suspect it exits south of the woodland on North Lane at osm.org/node/1177832370 . Also, how does it cross the service road at osm.org/way/368140495#map=18/52.98895/-1.63024 ?

The newly added footpaths here such as osm.org/way/356627173 seem to be more of a "tube map" - topologically correct, but don't match the imagery. Needs a ground survey.

The area round here needs a proper ground survey - lots of features have been questionably added based on over-enthusiastic interpretation of aerial imagery.

My recollection (based upon walking osm.org/way/188987402 ) was that it can get a bit muddy here which might explain some of the variability.

osm.org/way/206770942 has been "armchaired" and probably does not exist. I certainly didn't notice it.

osm.org/way/356627174 does not exist as mapped (it runs through what looks like a sewage farm). It also crosses the main road without joining it.

Please don't "armchair" map this to fix errors reported on a QA site - it needs a proper survey to see what actually exists and what does not. Additionally, QA site errors are useful to indicate areas needing proper a survey.

Need to check footpaths around here. Already added a few missing ones but need a better survey than my brief walk through today.
