Huh ? Forget about maps and osm for a moment. A bay is a body of water mostly surrounded by land. You're in a bay, not at a bay. It has a size, it's not a point in space with a buoy marking the spot. It's an area. The fact that a lot of sources have simplified it down to a point is an entirely different issue. But there's no reason that, with modern tools and manpower, we can't make a better job than those historical sources. And remember that when you see a rendered bay label, you don't actually know wether the source (wether it's some vector data or an idea in the sailor's brain) was an area or a point to begin with. Also bays with very flat or deep geometry will result in disproportionately small areas so mappers may feel compelled to do some ugly workarounds if the name of the bay isn't shown as expected. Disproportionate compared to what ? And fairly flat coastlines are a good example of cases that are tricky for algorythms, where the human mapper can probably make a better decision. So I would say * if there is some other reason valid to map the bay as area, do it pros: - bays are areas in real life - it makes geocoding trivial - it makes knowing which bays to render preferably easy (bigger bays first) - it enables representing nested bays - it is deterministic, as opposed to relying on a heuristic algorythm cons: - relations are harder to work with than nodes - the extent of bays is usually fuzzy; nodes make that fuzzyness obvious - most of the existing data (osm and potential imports) are nodes YMMV, those are reasons enough for me. * something better needs to be invented for hinting the renderer. It's not just the renderer, I actually think that the geocoding usacase is more important. And geocoding requires an area, wether it is provided in readily-usable form as osm data, or by a heuristics-based algorythm that infers it from a node. ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging

I've had exactly the same difficulty... tracktype/sac_scale/track_visibility/surface none of which capture the difference between a road a Toyota corolla could handle, and something that would be hard for a dirt bike to handle.

No. The survey is done : there is no legal height restriction under this bridge. Of course, anyone is free to come back and add more tags like the physical height or the material and 3d shape of the bridge, etc. But the most interesting information for apps checking clearance (e.g. for routing) is there = no legal restriction here.
