Thank you!

Hello, Welcome to OpenStreetMap! Thanks for your edit to the map. Unfortunately, we are not allowed to use Google Maps when editing OpenStreetMap, not even to confirm a field survey. This is due to Google's Terms of Service.

Bonjour, bienvenue sur OpenStreetMap ! Merci pour votre modification de la carte. Malheureusement, nous ne sommes pas autorisés à utiliser Google Maps lors de l'édition d'OpenStreetMap, pas même pour confirmer une enquête sur le terrain. Cela est dû aux conditions d'utilisation de Google.

Thanks for your reply. I am going to go ahead and revert the changeset, and you can redo the edit with the official source only.

Hello, Thanks for your edit to the map! You cited Google Maps as one of your sources. Unfortunately, when editing OpenStreetMap we are not allowed to use Google Maps due to Google's Terms of Service. This applies even if you believe that the original information came from the operator - once the information is in Google Maps it belongs to Google. Perhaps you can go directly to the operator to get the information.

Hallo, vielen Dank für Ihre Bearbeitung der Karte! Sie haben Google Maps als eine Ihrer Quellen genannt. Leider ist es uns bei der Bearbeitung von OpenStreetMap aufgrund der Nutzungsbedingungen von Google nicht gestattet, Google Maps zu verwenden. Dies gilt auch dann, wenn Sie glauben, dass die ursprünglichen Informationen vom Betreiber stammen - sobald die Informationen in Google Maps sind, gehören sie Google. Vielleicht können Sie sich direkt an den Betreiber wenden, um die Informationen zu erhalten.

Sorry about that, I had assumed that the message on the actual changeset would be visible first. I did see that there is another changeset that cites Google Maps as a source, which will have to be deleted too - sorry.

Hello again, Did you see my comment on your changeset? You are not allowed to use Google Maps when editing OpenStreetMap.

Hello, Welcome to OpenStreetMap! It is great to have you as part of our community of map aficionados. Thanks for your edit to the map. You cited Google Earth as one of your sources, unfortunately, we are not allowed to use Google Earth when editing OpenStreetMap due to Google's Terms of Use. To protect you, the OpenStreetMap project, and users of OpenStreetMap data, the edit will be reverted. You can redo the edit using only sources that are allowed. One very good source for trails is the Strava Global Heatmap (requires an account, but the account is free). You can also use Bing aerial imagery and Esri World Imagery. You can also collect a GPS track using your phone or smartwatch.

Some minor additional things, the trail should be connected to the nearby road (presuming one can walk from the road to the trail). This is helpful for routing. The trail should *not* be connected to the powerline. highway=path, rather than highway=footway, is probably more appropriate and matches the other trails in the area.
