Hi everyone, You may or may not know that currently in OSM there is only one [rendered] tag to describe the many different types of places where planes can take off and land (aeroway=aerodrome). I'm trying to figure out how we can tag tiny airstrips and gigantic international airports differently so that renders can decide to show important aerodromes at high zoom levels and tiny, unimportant ones only at low zoom levels.
Here are some tag ideas I'm toying with. These would all be modifiers for aeroway=aerodrome: aerodrome=airport (large aerodrome. many buildings. commercial flights. international flights) aerodrome=airfield (smaller aerodrome. few buildings) aerodrome=airstrip (tiny aerodrome. basically just a runway, often just a grass one) aerodrome=water (a place where seaplanes take off and land in the water. same rendering importance as airstrip) Please have a look at the Airports:Talk page<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Airports#What_about_small_airstrips_that_shouldn.27t_be_given_the_same_prominence_on_the_map_as_major_airports.3F>on the wiki if you are interested in this subject. I've also posted this there. Zeke Burlington, VT, USA
