Google Maps, Google Street View and OSM are mostly used. In some very unnatural situations, local sources are used. For example Wicklow Gas Station, bricksathome used local sources because that gas station is way new.

I mainly use Google Streetview, and I try to find drivelapses (driving timelapses). If I don't find any drivelapses I make a Google Steetview timelapse on a site I found, to get the idea and feel of the road. Many other devs use Google Streetview as well. In countries without Google Streetview (like Germany and Austria) we use something called Mapillary.

Well I was suggesting some other new sources for British Isles. SABRE says it's "society of road enthusiast", so they do have a go on almost all registered roads, including obscure ones (like four digit routes, C/D/R routes) and technicalities, but that means they always update things themselves, including photographs of the road (and sometimes videos). cbrd is maintained by one member. They also contribute to OpenStreetMap, hence the new M8 is there while others (google maps or bing or such) haven't catched up. Just some suggestions really.

To get to Portree, once past Fort William, one leaves the A82 at Invergarry which joins the A87 to Portree.

Hmmm.... which is precisely the route that the GPS should have plotted.... . Something like this....

That map's looking briloiant cashtime, very nice to see Dumfries there as I wasn't expecting it.

BTW, what's behind the black bar on the right? Places your still working on?

Thanks for your hard work so far!

Yep, work in progress . I don't want to give too much away . I'm currently building north of Aberdeen, towards Fraserburgh....
