[Tagging] tagging Greenways (was: Re: [OSM-talk] Good routing vs legal routing (was: Path vsfootwayvs cycleway vs...))

face is NOT paved then it's a 'mountain_bike' and if it's an all terrain bike it's called a 'trekking_bike' and would that be appropriate for a 'greenway' (following the signs and bi-passing where no bikes aloud) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenwa

Re: [Tagging] wiki+rules for mapping protected areas: nationalpark, naturereserve, etc.

Hi, It will be great to see what you recommend. I haven't made a final decision, nor really talked to the talk-ca list about what the 'National Protected Areas' database that is (going to) be ready for import in Canada. I have a sample http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=48.5471&lon=-124.3593&zoom=1

Re: [Tagging] [OSM-newbies] Community Centres

Yup, In 'small towns' its possable for 1 building to be it ALL (including a pub/post office etc) in the case where a building has many uses & isnt clearly defined, i would tag it as "building=yes" for the area, then have nodes for each use. If a 'section' of a building is 'designated use' then you

Re: [Tagging] [OSM-talk] Seamark/Marine-Tagging-Proposal open for Voting

Hi, I would think that man_made=lighthouse also needs to be changed so that an additional tag of seamark=lighthouse to show the same thing. as IMO 'seamark' seems to more appropriate ... as a 'land' lighthouse is a 'man_made=tower'. Cheers, Sam On Wed, Nov 11, 2009 at 4:15 AM, Mario Salvini w

Re: [Tagging] [Talk-us] NY Bicycle Routes

e a state-wide network, but listed as ncn. (route de verte) (the Trans Canada Trail isnt a 'cycle route' per say, but elements of it allows cycling on different surfaces). Do we make a new render for a 'recreational trail'? Is there an established practice? Thanks, Sam Vekemans

Re: [Tagging] Lakes, islands and multipolygons

hi all, I worked a little more off the coast of tofino http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=49.1205&lon=-125.9333&zoom=12&layers=0B00FTF You can see where the error is.. The error was (hopefully) caused by the clock-wise/ counter clockwise switch i did yesterday, just to see what happens. . Its int

Re: [Tagging] Lakes, islands and multipolygons

At least from what i understand... I wouldnt use the tag natural=coastline simply because coastline becomes confusing when your getting to the 'coast' where there are lots of islands.. im still working on it, but i do have a shp file for the islands (just not imported yet) http://www.openstreetma

Re: [Tagging] [talk-au] How to tag a non-existent road

Ok, so my big question is: Why are your property boundaries rendered with solid fill? Its not indicating land use, and should be rendered as a 'dash-dot-dot-dash' line. (at least thats how i remember it from drafting class) So if the property boundaries arnt filled in, then there is room to go aro
