Does that sound reasonable?
My intention wasn't to force someone to use the man_made=antenna tag (or any other tag). These tags are already in the database. My point was that there might be some sense in distinguishing between man_made=mast and man_made=antenna for roughly similar looking real world objects. I agree that either of the two (especially together with a height-tag) will be equally useful for many practical use cases (like orienteering). cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
