Am I misunderstanding this project then? I’m sorry, I am not familiar with how the TAT and other trails work.
The TAT, TET and TSAT are just gpx routes that someone compiled, named and put online.
There are several different TAT routes by different people. One of the TAT compilers charges a small fee for the gpx file.
The TET route gpx file is free, and they ask for voluntary donations to support hosting.
Jacques is wanting to use the same idea as the TET for the TSAT - a donation model.
Hosting and domain registration are around R200/month these days, so it's not expensive to run the website.
It's the time required to compile, check maintain and support the route that costs time.
The routes use public roads and riding the routes is always free.
The voluntary donation is only for supporting the monthly expenses that the route-creator incurs.
