It may be "easier" to use, but it's not easier to use correctly (or in a way that's useful/verifiable). > But in case, I don't think there is ever an expectation that people tag > things outside their area of interest or expertise. Really? I tag all sorts of things outside my area of interest/expertise. > It would obviously be > fine to go "this looks like a bike path, highway=cycleway" or "this might be > a bike path, but I'm not sure, highway=footway, width=2.0". As long as the next mapper who comes along is guaranteed to agree (i.e. what you've tagged is verifiable), then yeah, it's obviously fine. Otherwise, it's obviously not fine. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
