[OSM-talk] building and other amenities author
hi, I was wondering if there is already a method to mark the (mainly architect) who designed a specific map feature. I did a quick search, but couldn't find what I was searching for. the tag would be useful for places rich in historical monuments. for example, in Torino, Itali, I'd mark the Mole Antonelliana (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mole_Antonelliana) something like: building=yes name=Mole Antonelliana architect=Alessandro Antonelli is there already such a tag and I missed it, or do you think it's worth a proposal on the wiki?

Re: [OSM-talk] WTF ! (about gps traces)
way funny.. and, having a look at the map already done there, it seems that there's a lot of POIs without a reason to be there..

Does it matter that there's trees on it? If it were made of concrete, it would just be ignored (except inasmuch as it causes the street(s) to be divided into parallel ways). I doubt anybody would propose that we create a separate way for it. Or is someone planning to make a super-nifty 3D map view with trees along the road? (That would be cool...) well, I' quite new to this kind of things, but in my opinion a line of trees is quite a more important landmark than a concrete shoulder.. If I was to give direction, I would for sure say take the avenue with the trees, while of course I wouldn't in the other case. There is even an italian expression, viale alberato which specifically describes an avenue with tree lines.. and, I agree, a 3d map view with rendered trees would be very cool ^_^ Enrico ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
[OSM-talk] correctly mapping avenues
Hi everybody, my quest to map Torino continues, and yesterday I was gratified by seeing the first update of the rendered map containing my work. I have a question though. Torino is full of wonderful wide avenues, with a central two way lane, and two one way lane on the sides. something like this little ascii art: -- -- -- -- -- Tree Tree Tree Tree - - - - Tree Tree Tree Tree -- -- -- -- -- To make things more complicated, central lanes are often double lanes, there are often tramway rails, or buses reserved lanes; sometimes cycleway tracks. Any suggestion about how to render all this? Even an example of an already done similar object could be useful. thanks in advance, Enrico ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
