i don't agree with that, because only the physical areas where, for example a car, can park is a parking space/area, but not for example the street itself. the current mapping scheme by using a big area over the whole parking facility is just inaccurate and comes from times where mappers didn't have satellite images available and couldn't accurately map such areas. what you actually would need is a landuse=parking and a amenity=parking. the first describes the whole parking facility, the second the actual parking spaces. take this parking lot for example: http://osm.org/go/0JhJenH8g-- . how should a renderer or routing programm know, that those individual parking spaces actually are one big lot? that's the whole purpose of the proposal, so a more accurate mapping of the individual elements is possible. if you want to use the current inaccurate mapping scheme you can still do that by not using don't use parking_type and a relation. regards, flaimo _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
