[talk-au] Another long distance hiking track
I found that the "Cape to Cape Track" between Cape Naturaliste and Cape Leeuwin in south-west WA had already been mapped. I've added a route relation which gathers up the parts and added it to the know relations in the wiki under "Bush Walking and Cycling Tracks". In a day or two, it should render on osm.lonvia.de/world_hiking.html John H ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
[talk-au] Rewrote section
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php?title=Australian_Tagging_Guidelines&action=edit§ion=25 I think it was overly optimistic about a clear distinction between "LCN" and "RCN" networks in Australia. Feel free to discuss, edit further, etc. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

Of course someone's going to find a very short unimportant cycleway which crosses a council boundary. I think it's a very useful measure nevertheless. By parity of reasoning, should a cycleway which crosses a state border be regarded national? Like the one which crosses from Canberra (ACT) into Queanbeyan (NSW) on this bridge: http://www.osm.org/?lat=-35.343726&lon=149.213133 The Mawson Trail is wholly within SA, but at 900km well exceeds the "as long as 200km" guideline for regional. I'm sorry that I don't have answers, only questions. John H ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

[talk-au] Waste Transfer Stations
These aren't really landuse=landfill sites, although both provide a similar function, but the waste is sent to an actual landfill. I found this page on the wiki, but it's empty and marked for deletion or http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mapping/Features/Waste_Processing Chas66 mapped one as amenity=recycling, but while they provide the ability to recycle things, that isn't the primary function of the place, which is to consolidate waste from residents in the area and then ship it to an actual landfill site. http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/chas66/diary/9038 ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
