why is there so many random patches of road not connected to anything? if the car went to capture there, why didnt it also capture the way there and/or back?

is it similar to germany where they had to remove large parts of it?

Yes. All of those are gravel roads, so even minor paved roads aren't in the picture. I think this pic is also based on satellite images, so no car has visited those.

Even Google Maps doesn't show all gravel roads, but when they do, it looks like this: https://goo.gl/maps/6ehKRyfYjy3jzhX56

,,,,and typical rally speed on that: 100mph or more. I think they're nuts, but exciting? Hell yeah!

(That's near by my summer cottage, not all random place.)

It also depends on what has been added to OpenStreetMaps. I live in area that is completely black on this map, but ofc there are plenty of backroads around, but nobody to map them / put them into OSM.

Why is there a singular strip of backroad deep in Russian side of the border? Do we still own that particular backroad or what?

Not even close to accurate. I know one road that is missing and how perfect it would be for rallying. My family owns a share of that road and government pays for the upkeeping and maintenance cause it is quite neat way to shortcut between two highways and can handle a tank... The whole area is a black void in this map when i know it is fully of backroads that are in excellent condition. They cut thru marshlands that form natural obstacles, unless you use those roads...

Curious as to the methodology used to extract, use QGIS and OSM every day at work.

Thanks! I will try this out later.

I said the whole area is just a black void.. there are dozens of them missing within.. 100km^(2)

So, more than one, more than few and yes: if the miss that much on that one area, how much more are they missing?

Not seeing any of the roads I'd use for rally, or roads I did use for riding a moped before getting a license.

If you're going by OSM classification of roads, you should know that it's highly inconsistent. Two roads that are in fact very similar (surface, width, frequency of use) are often classified differently and vice versa. That's what you get with crowd sourced data.

Data is from OpenStreetMap which as you may guess by it's name is open and can be edited by basically anyone and thus it often includes roads and paths Google doesn't bother to include on the map.

Great map with complete and utter lack of suggestions.

Can you see the total lenght of the roads on the map? It should be over 160 000 km, that's only the total lenght of the forest roads (metsäautotie) in Finland.

Yeah, you have quickosm. At this scale though I think the request would exceed the allowed limit and at least I’m more comfortable using PostGIS when doing anything related to networks.

I reckon Helsinki is the most dense down there? Seems reasonable but the rest stick out

It's from OpenStreetMap, so probably the exact opposite: the tracks were plotted by a person travelling along them with a GPS.
