Hello,

To be honest, I've no idea how many miles of waterways there! I don't suppose I was suggesting anything in particular - just giving advice on different methods, whether electronic or manual.

Assuming it might be similar to rail lines, I know I wouldn't take on the task of detailing the the whole lot manually (the London Underground lines to a fair while although much of this is high resolution) but I guess it depends how many people are doing it, how much detail to go into, how much time you have and how much you want to do it; large amounts of work can be a labour of love.

Having said that, I probably wouldn't have detailed the UK and then French rail stations if I'd known how long it would take from the beginning but when you've already started something it's sometimes difficult to stop until you finish.

I'd certainly try and get some kind of electronic data if you can. If that can't be done, maybe start with the major wayerways and see how long it's going to take manually.

Simon.
