Re: [Tagging] How to tag a building constructed for a gastronomic purposes?

2018-09-23 Thread Joseph Eisenberg
I’d recommend tagging all retail buildings, including fast foot and restaurants, with building=retail. A building built for fast food can easily be converted to a sit-down, full-service restaurant without any modifications to the building structure. And a restaurant in a storefront building could t

Right! Especially on my island, New Guinea. That’s why we need to check the height of saddles and peaks “by hand”, or better yet by survey with GPS. OSM is the right place for this data, and some map styles and database users will find it useful to analyze data about mountain areas and peaks. Fo

Good idea. It would be nice if these stockpiles of materials could all be tagged in a similar way. Piles of sand could also be used for flood control (eg to fill sandbags), while minds gravel and rocks could be used to repair roads, dikes, and so on. BTW, I believe the British English term is “dik

Thanks Kevin Yes, “prominence” here is a technical term that has only a partially connection to the subjective “importance” of a peak. In general, all peaks with high topographic prominence are considered important by local people (if anyone lives near them) and mountain climbers, but some peaks w
