Re: [Tagging] historic=tank and surprises with tags like car-sharing

We have very little control of how things will get rendered. So either you render yourself, or you use a service like umap.openstreetmap.fr I'm still tagging bus_stops as highway=bus_stop, even though they are not highways and I'm not mapping them as a node of a highway. I stopped complaining abo

Re: [Tagging] how to tag small parts of buildings

I like inscription=* for inscriptions. Maybe add a historic=inscription as well. I'm not sure about the other ones. How will they be used by data consumers? Wouldn't a photo on OpenStreetCam be a better option? Janko On Fri, 14 Apr 2017, 00:38 Martin Koppenhoefer, wrote: > While mapping a medie

[Tagging] Disaster response

There was a discussion recently, though I cannot find it, about 'civil defense'-like services, responding to major emergencies. They still lack an internationally suitable tag. There is an Australian attempt (emergency=ses_station) that gains some international interest, though it is an incompr

[Tagging] anti-slip surfaces

Hi What's the best tag to describe an anti-slip surface made from small grit pieces coating a layer of bitumen? Often used on steel footbridges, sometimes pre-made & supplied in rolls. Grit/gravel etc don't appear appropriate as they imply a loose surface. DaveF --- This email has been chec
