I don't think that is a natural interpretation. It is perfectly clear in the case of a disused quarry. It is still a quarry. But it is no longer in use. In a few cases it may have a new purpose, but it is still a quarry in any normal sense. I think I tried disused:landuse=quarry, but as I recall it was then not rendered on the standard map. I am all against tagging for the renderer in principle, but when such major features are not shown, it is ridiculous and a hazard. Theses particular quarries have sheer faces some of which are not fenced off. > The landuse tag should describe the current use, not the former. In the cases that I was examining, the current use is "disused_quarry". > man_made=bridge is rendered on the main carto map. If the bridge outline of > a major bridge is not in the database, it's the mappers' fault, not the > renderers'. Are you suggesting that I pollute the database with invented features? I have mapped several of these bridges which are under thick tree cover using a pretty good gps unit. But the traces were not of sufficent quality under the trees to distiguish the two sides of the bridge which is some cases were no more than 2 m apart. I have always worried about spurious accuracy. Maybe I have to invent bridge outlines to fit in with the scheme above, but I feel very uncomfortable about that. A bridge is a bridge and is a major feature regardless of whether it is still in use for its original purpose. Sorry to be contrary, but I was advocating the use of OSM to non technical local councillors in Cornwall, and the fact that all these major bridges around the area were not rendered was just too embarrassing. So I dropped the idea until they were rendered on the "default" map. It would seem that I have to invent "outlines" to fix that which goes against the grain. I should add that I was not the orginal mapper for many of these disused bridges, so I am not the only one omitting bridge outlines. [Background: there are many old abandoned mining railways and tracks in Cornwall, many of which bridge roads. They need to appear on road maps. Some of them are also tourist attractions.] ael _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
