Re: [Tagging] Finger- or guide-post text

[Jan Michel]

Hi Andy,
we already have (not well documented) tags for this:

Either you use destination_sign relations as Sarah pointed out. Or, if 
you prefer a more simple approach, there are eight defined keys to add 
the information with approximate directions:


direction_north, ..., direction_southwest, direction_northeast, ...

For some reason they are only mentioned on the German Wiki page
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/DE:Tag:information%3Dguidepost

But they are used almost 30,000 times already, see e.g.
https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/direction_south

These eight cardinal directions seem to be quite imprecise, but if you 
look at common intersections, they are able to cover almost all cases.

I am mapping a fingerpost, aka guidepost:

I would like to add the inscription, for each of the three fingers,
with their compass points. I note:

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:destination
destination:337.5:=foo

What do folk think?

[Tagging] Edited the wiki for building=terrace

[Skyler Hawthorne]

Hi everyone,

A couple weeks ago, I started a thread regarding how to tag terrace 
buildings when the entire building has a name. I proposed an alternative 
tagging scheme to handle such cases, and others where it's clear that the 
building is one cohesive unit.


As a result of that discussion, I made some edits to the wiki page for 
building=terrace. A review and any feedback is welcome, as are further 
edits if there is further clarification in order, or if there is strong 
objection to the tagging scheme described.
