[OSM-talk] Place of worship: wayside crosses
Hi, on the german list one inhabitant wondered how to name a proposal for wayside crosses: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croix_monumentale How do you call them in english speaking countries? What would you recommend for a proposal? An additional tag for place_of_worship or an tag of its own? Thanks & best regards, ce ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk

Christoph, There was some discussion about this on the list last month, (in a thread that started by talking about the Icon tag), and there is now a proposed tag as wayside_cross (there is also wayside_shrine). http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Proposed_features/wayside_cross Wayside crosses are not common in English speaking areas. Well, people put small white crosses up were people died in car accidents, but that's not the same thing.

A wayside cross is generally very much not a wayside shrine, of course :-) Gerv ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk

Wayside crosses seem to be a speciality in southern de, at and Alsace. Cheers, ce ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk

You also find them in the Eichsfeld (Duderstadt/Heiligenstadt) and, maybe, around Hildesheim (that's south of Hanover). Both are regions with a high percentage of roman-catholic people. ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk

I bet you'll find them in other catholic regions as well. BTW: you'll even find wayside_shrines in Greece, which isn't that catholic :) .

If such a tag is present then the name should not be required. There could also be, however I don't think it would be usefull enough to justify yet another tag, a 'form' tag which says if it is a cross, shrine (chapel), obelisk or anything else. BTW, I ve just came back from a countryside where I did some mapping, compare http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=51.9763&lon=20.4518&zoom=13&layers=B0FT and http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=51.9763&lon=20.4518&zoom=13&layers=0BFT and there is a lot of these, un-mapped yet but, nothing's lost ;) -- Było mi bardzo miło.
