Noticed that too - to complete the self referential circle you would now just have to edit https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:aeroway%3Daerodrome And change it to "the area around a runway". ;-) > Another main aspect concerns the mapping as linear feature and or as > area. [...] This is a topic that seems to turn up every few months or so. The basic facts are: * For runways the two node way with optionally a width tag is by far the dominating way to map them. A variety of other methods and suggestions exist (linear way + polygon with the same tag, polygon only, linear way+ polygon with other tag) but none of them has found consistent use so far. * A four node polygon transports no additional information for a runway compared to a two node way with a width tag. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
