Should not be too difficult to set up a Euro bank account in the UK. I do not know about the costs, but it might be cheaper then paying for each Euro transaction an extra fee. Or use Fossgis or somebody else as a trustee. Just keeping in mind that are much more people living in the Euro zone then there are in the UK. Or just have a look at the contributer base, most of them are outside of the UK. So please do not waste money by not getting organized ;-) Thorsten ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

The speed can > be worked out by computation in the routing app. In many cases you need to consider ferris timetables. Some ferris also have check in or check out times. crossing_duration= is in those cases a valuable information, but does nor say anything about the travel time in total. Same goes for river crossing ferris. Some of them operate only at certain times of a day, and they will only cross the river if there is need for or if they have a minimum load, lets say 2 or 3 cars. In other cases we could find also trains or other means of transport to bring a car from a to b. We should consider them to in some way.

In my eyes service should be used only "real" service: points not for rails or streets, they should be highway:service or railway:service Thorsten ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Any duplication will bring us one step further to data chaos as nobody would care to change every street name in every address if he find a typo in one of them. tiding things together with relation, or what ever you like, seems for me the better way.
