I was using the example of your site, along with other digital resources that I specifically call out, (ie: you were not being singled out personally or even by your work),as things one cannot fully trust in. <br /><br />As you say, the part about the information not being 100% reliable is understood by you. <br /><br />In my opinion, if you put out information on the internet, like I have for over a decade, you have to be prepared to have that information be, amongst other things, misunderstood. This being a good example of that, by the way. <br /><br /> It is also my opinion that "routes", as defined by popular opinion, are things that do not have mistakes in them, or at least, people don't take the time to consider that they are not infallible. My intention with the statements in the post were to, perhaps, help dispel this erroneous thinking and NOT to draw you personally through the mud. <br /><br /> Guitar Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10960580677548417562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-20828509402650751692017-12-21T19:57:43.124-05:002017-12-21T19:57:43.124-05:00I understand where you're coming from, it just...I understand where you're coming from, it just feels odd to be specifically singled out when I'm the last guy on the food chain here. I'm not a county, a state, or a big mapping company. I don't live in Iowa. I only built it because somebody in your forum asked if it was possible. The PDF maps didn't work on their phone so I converted the data to a phone-friendly format.Marc Pfisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12564297701953453805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-32073639613264630152017-12-21T10:38:46.515-05:002017-12-21T10:38:46.515-05:00@Marc Pfister- Thanks for chiming in.
My point i...@Marc Pfister- Thanks for chiming in. <br /><br />My point is that people, (read- not you specifically), put far too much trust into resources like yours which should be taken as "good suggestions", or a guide, NOT the "gospel truth" of where one can ride. I find too many people are too lazy to research, or just cannot be arsed to realize that resources like yours are merely what they are- not a "ready to ride" route suggestion. <br /><br />So, I stand by my statements in the post: If you trust these resources as reflecting what is actually there, it is a foolish thing to do. <br /><br />Hopefully that makes sense.

The first thing you see on the map is a disclaimer warning you of such.<br /><br />All maps are snapshots of the past. I am happy to update the web map with more current data, but the state has not released any. I also ask for updates from users, but to date I have received zero for Iowa. I don't live in Iowa, I can't fix what I don't know about.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Marc Pfisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12564297701953453805noreply@blogger.com
