Naming of tidal channels is quite common but like most maritime naming you will often have a hard time to define a geometric verifiability. Therefore most geometries drawn here are subjective label placement sketches. In mangrove areas this is a bit different of course. But i don't want to discourage anyone from a actually defining new tags here - just make sure you document them in a verifiable form. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
