Re: [Tagging] waterway=fairway?

2016-07-20 Thread Maarten Deen
I think the general concencus is that waterway=fairway is a useful tag. I'll just add it to the wiki so people will know about it. I'm also going to change the waterway=lake to waterway=fairway where I come across it and think it should be changed. Regards, Maarten
