ISL: TH 759 point request
« on: August 22, 2021, 01:48:01 pm »
I would like a point on TH 759 at the road just across the bridge from TH 1.  As I write this I am at the Guesthouse at the end of that road, and that short segment of 759 is all I'm likely to travel before being on my way from the area tomorrow morning.  Thanks.

Done.

From the looks of it TH759 does not extend as far as I had it mapped either. Per my notes from 2016, "Unnumbered on Vegagerdin map, assumed to end at end of road."
Well it's on the Vegagerðin map now so there's an official source for its endpoint: doesn't go past Stekkjarflatir.

That said, this change impacts exactly zero users. You're about to be the first to claim any of TH759. :)

Thanks for the quick work on these.

In general, are the yellow signs at intersections sufficient to count as signed?  I noticed the numbered roads to the airports in  Mývatn and Sauðárkrókur have signs on TH1 but are not in TM.

ISL: signed but not yet in TM

Also 886 is signed from 862, proceeding to the Detifoss parking area.  The whole road and parking area looked pretty newly built.

I can split these into separate threads if needed, but I think this one's another quick addition.  I took TH 844 from TH 1 the short distance to the Goðafoss parking area on the east side of the river.  At least I think I was on it.  I didn't get any signs for 844 in my pictures it seems.

Yes, absolutely. For a lot of routes this is the only way they are signed.

By all means continue reporting anything you find missing (or vice versa, that you can't find any signs for that is in the HB). GMSV in Iceland is all from 2013 and I was only there myself once in 2016. Given that things in Iceland seem to change with some frequency I'm sure there are more places where what is or isn't mapped is out of date, for lack of more recent sources of ground truth.

Also requesting a point about half way up TH850, where we turned to attempt to do laundry at the Hild camground/hostel.

Thanks again.
