I mean most forest paths are also just footpaths like that so it would suck if these types werent mapped.

Yeah i guess. I just noticed this because i had seen the map before the path and was a bit surprised for it to just be a desire path. It's not mapped on google, they have only the not as desirable regular path.

Yeah thats the big advantage over google maps. Outdoor paths and absurd details that you never care about until you need them.
