This isn't magic, you know. I think it's easier to survey a ridge (either from aerials, or by walking along it with GPS) than to get enough altitude points to generate it automatically, so I think we should allow them to be entered as ways (which won't prevent renderers from finding more ridges from altitude points). __John _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
