OpenSeaMap are trying to make a parallel database inside the same database. They have to merge at some point, and the sooner the better for all. Janko 2013/12/11 Martin Koppenhoefer > 2013/12/11 Malcolm Herring > > >> >> Anyway, this thread is about the import, not the tagging! I know that we

Re: [Tagging] OpenSeaMap tagging - seamark-prefix was Re: [Imports] IENC of the German WSV

We (OpenSeaMap) are open to suggestions on this. The harbour project has recently been re-started after a hiatus of several years. As we are building a separate database to contain imports from various public harbour data sources. These harbour objects only require a simple "seamark:type=harbou

Re: [Tagging] Tagging Digest, Vol 51, Issue 27

Hi OpenSeaMap! I want to support what Pieren is saying Having started to tag lakes and harbors all around Switzerland, I realized that: 1. The OpenSeaMap tags and OSM tags do not match. 2. Most of the tags are not rendered. This situation is a pity. I do not want to live in two different wor

Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - Voting - landuse=highway
