Improving the maps

Hi, I want to improve the maps, adding the missed roads (bike trails), that don't appear in the K2 maps.

There are any program to improve them?

The main roads, are well performed, but the trails, at least in my zona (Catalonia), they aren't.

Without these trails, the re-routing option runs crazy.

TY!

  Hi Norman,

  You need to add the trails on the Openstreetmap.org website. It works best to ride the trails first, then upload the GPX file. You can then "click" along your track to draw the trails on the map. Once you do this it will take about 3-6 months for the updated maps to get on your K2.

  I have done this for new trails, in Minnesota USA, and it works well.

  If you're going to add very much to openstreetmap, there is a tool called JOSM that IMO is much better than using the website. 

  I wish Hammerhead would be a little quicker about updating their maps.  There's a trail in my area that's been on OSM for 4 months, but still not on the Karoo.
