Hi All
I have extended my Montgomery file [now combined into one file with the whole of the SU; attached to post #1202637] to include the isolated navigable section and the unnavigable sections; to cover the whole canal from Frankton to Freestone Lock. I understand that the length from Freestone Lock to Newtown has, in part, been built over.
The paths follow the route of the canal reasonably accurately and I have used coloured paths to indicate navigable, in water and dry sections. I not used the alphabetic placemark icons on the unnavigable sections, to make it easy to identify the navigable sections.
It's probably taken 10 -15 hours to complete this canal.
If you download this file I would appreciate comments and ideas to improve the system.

I've now brought all of my files for the Shropshire Union and its branches up to the same standard, including detailed paths, moorings and services information, using the SUCS website, as it is more accurate.
I have combined them all on to one file.

Hi all
I have mapped a couple more canals. I considered posting them as one file but decided to keep them separate.
The first attached to this post is the Coventry Canal - from Coventry Basin to Fradley Junction. Some traditionalists would claim that the section from Fazeley Junction to Whittington Brook is part of the Birmingham and Fazeley as the B&F company built and operated it, although it was enacted under the Coventry Canal Act. BW now regard it as part of the Coventry, so I have included it on this file ...

... And this one is the Birmingham and Fazeley

PS I didn't realise that the B&F became part of the BCN; had I known I wouldn't have posted this file; however, although the data is included in the BCN file below, I'll leave it up for the time being so that the different formats can be compared.

Hi all
Back again.
This time I have mapped all of the Birmingham Canal Navigations.
If you like statistics, this file containes 923 placemarks and 43 paths which have 3123 nodes in total
I have made some changes to the format:
- firstly, the labels no longer show until the placemark is 'moused over';
- and, I have reduced the size of the icons.
This reduces the overlap of the icons so you no longer have to zoom as close to see individual placemarks.
Any comments would be welcome - if this format is better, I will change the other files I have uploaded.
Regards
Bushy

Ok here are the Bury and Salford arms of the Manchester, Bolton and Bury canal. I'll upload the Bolton arm separately.
The canal is currently being restored at the Salford end (see Wikipedia)

And here is the Bolton arm, which is unlikely to be restored any time soon (because of the A666)
