Re: [Tagging] [Talk-us] First bona fide mini-roundabout spotted

I don't see why this discussion is so complicated. OSM tags are based on British English terms for historic reasons. In that contest there is a clean-cut distinction between a roundabout and a mini-roundabout: Quote from Wikipedia: "Mini-roundabouts can be a painted circle or a low dome but must be

Re: [Tagging] [Talk-us] First bona fide mini-roundabout spotted

I guess(!) the discussion is so complicated, because some people misinterpreted for whatever reason a mini-roundabout with a small roundabout, tagged it as mini and now don't want to fix all their existing tags. I can understand (but not support) the latter, but I don't understand why we shouldn't

Re: [Tagging] [Talk-us] First bona fide mini-roundabout spotted

There is one annoying complication of the "real" roundabout in comparison with the mini-roundabout (and for which I also have "cheated" in some cases) and that is the handling of bus and cycle route relations. These have to be split at every roundabout into two halves with role "forward". >From tha

[Tagging] symbol=* documentation?

Hi, Can somebody please write a brief documentation to http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:symbol I'm not sure I understand the tag's use. We are currently discussing the use on the Hungarian mailing list, would be great to have some pointers, "standard". IDEAS ONLY - please copy to wiki

Re: [Tagging] symbol=* documentation?

In Belgium, we use it for some types of walking routes, and we do it this way: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Belgium/Conventions/Walking_Routes#Natuurpunt So we have standard symbols (square, rectangle, triangle ...) which are combined with a colour tag. But sometimes a logo is us

[Tagging] beer details, draught beer

I'd like to note for pubs, cafes, bars, restaurants and similar if they offer draught beer. My suggestion would be draught_beer=yes or maybe the value could be a selection of brands (or beer types), seperated by semicolons, which would still be easily valuable (not "no" or NULL) as long as you ar

Re: [Tagging] beer details, draught beer

There was a similar discussion on the UK list last year when we were making our BrewMap . I think we settled on real_ale=yes, but I suspect that was more on the basis that draught beer was an expectation and we wanted to know if it was 'real' beer/ale/ciderbut I ne
