The maps that show it

Where two or more maps draw the trail within each other’s uncertainty, the line is their average weighted by each map’s accuracy; where only one map shows it, its line is dashed and its corridor is that map’s accuracy. A compiled corridor drawn from a map counts as that map, not as a second witness. How it’s done, and where it may be wrong: how this map was made.

Help firm it up

Another map that shows this trail, traced and melded in, narrows its corridor. Members trace trails on any map open for tracing — Trace a trail on the map — and confirm one another’s; see traces waiting for a confirmation.
