Yes, the discussions and proposals are endless for this. Suggestions are usually that you should deduct the importance by analyzing the map dat (e.g. surface of the runway, length of the runway) and combine OSM data with external sources (numbers of starts/landings a year, number of passengers a year, freight volumes, ...). Personally I think that to get a rough estimate it is sufficient to tag the most important ones with aeroway=airport this renders nicely and is suitable IMHO, even if it is not the ultimate level of detail. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
