Map it one way or the other (I'd say either was acceptable), but don't switch repeatedly between the two. There are many tram systems which only really separate from the road at stops, with much less separation between stops than your clear white line. On Mon, Mar 2, 2015 at 3:20 AM, Fernando Tre

In Belgium and The Netherlands we have tagged all the regional walking networks as foot. With this system of walking networks it is possible to plan walks as short as 2-3 km and and long as a few hundred kilometers. For me the short walks are no hikes, but that might be the wrong interpretation. W

Dump stations are one of a number of compelling "poi mapping" efforts that exist outside of OSM. Sanidumps is so much stronger than OSM for this feature, I suspect it will maintain it's lead. OSM is similarly overshadowed in AED mapping. On the other hand OSM seems to be the leader for drinking wa

[Tagging] Mapping private home toilets

2015-03-02 Thread Bryce Nesbitt
For developing world demographers, data on home toilets is important. This data periodically gets recorded in Open Street Map. Unfortunately this brings up a number of conflicts, among them the use of a map by a member of the public wishing to use a toilet. Nothing distinguishes a toilet one can

Hi, the wiki page about amenity=toilet clearly states - in English and German version, that it is used to identify a toilet *open to the public*. As far as I can see, this seems to be the case since at least 2010 (although I didn't check any single one for intermediate differences). The French s

"Excluding private toilet seems a sane step for a general purpose map." Completely private toilets (especially home toilets) may not be mapped with amenity=toilet, what solves rendering problems. Public toilets with restricted access should be mapped with appropriate access tag. 2015-03-03 2:58
