[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - rail_trail

Hi, i now startet my proposal for RFC! It's about rail-trails (german: Bahntrassenradweg). This is a disused railway, which converted into a multiuse path, normaly for cycling, inlineskating or hiking. Link: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/rail_trail best regards MasiMa

Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - rail_trail

I like the idea to see ex-railway cycleways on the map. I also like to see cycle routes on the map, and I would like to see ex-railways on the map. I have my doubts whether the tagging of a cycleway as being on a n ex-railway should be done at the level of a key to the highway tag. If I understand

[Tagging] When should a name:* translation be used?

I ask because someone added a name:vi tag for Orange County, Florida: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/389011 As far as I know, there is no large Vietnamese population here and no other reason why someone would want to know the literal translation of Orange County into Vietnamese.

Re: [Tagging] When should a name:* translation be used?

Could it be that some Vietnamese mapper prepares Vietnamese name tags for being able to produce a world or US map labels in Vietnamese. Why don't you ask the mapper who added the tag? Volker (from Italy) On 30 January 2012 18:53, Nathan Edgars II wrote: > I ask because someone added a name:vi t

[Tagging] Public airport multipolygon?

There's a problem with the key type. It's necessary for a multipolygon relation, but also has other uses such as the type of airport (public/private). So how is one to indicate that an airport represented by a multipolygon is public? ___ Tagging mail

Re: [Tagging] When should a name:* translation be used?

Some cities/towns (especially those that are important for a long time) have different names in different languages (here in Europe almost every major and many minor towns). If there is such a name, it should be added. If I browse through map of China, I would like to see Peking (Czech name), I can

Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - rail_trail

Ok, i agree with most of you! highway=cycleway + railway=abandoned is good. Some people prefer highway=cycleway + railway=dismantled (see: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Railways#Abandoned_railways_where_all_evidence_has_been_removed) So should we change the proposal to these both cas

Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - rail_trail

Your proposal should draw much more heavily from existing practice, in particular for attributes like the surface. Typical rail trail surfaces are basalt rock leftover from the railroad, dirt (after the basalt rock sinks), stone dust deliberately placed, and pavement. Despite having worked on seve
