Re: [talk-au] How to tag swimming pontoons

2017-01-28 Thread Andrew Davidson 

Is there something underneath eg: a net?

One suggestion is barrier=boom (there's 30 of these):

https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/37418/tag-line-of-floating-buoys-near-weir-or-dam

other people have used barrier=net (423 of these) or barrier=shark_net 
(6 of these).

Continuing on with swimming areas, we've got a few on the GC that
consist of a floating boom suspending an underwater net, surrounding the
designated area. One of them then has a swimming raft in it:

In OSM, the boom's are currently marked as fences:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/edit#map=18/-27.96790/153.41779, which
doesn't really seem right?

I can see reference in the wiki to an oil-boom, which is a floating boom
to contain oil spills, but not really appropriate.

Don't know if they'd be a pontoon either, because you can't really climb
up on it.

Any thoughts?

Graeme

The swimming raft describes it exactly

man_made=pontoon was my first thought but wasn't sure (was checking
on a mobile device on the bus) so I'll use that.

With tagging the ladder, the pontoons can rotate a fair bit so how
sensitive is the position of something like a ladder?

Swimming area is also something I plan on marking as these swimming
areas do have buoys on like a cable around the perimeter marking the
boundary.

Thank you to everyone for their input so far, the help is very much
appreciated.

As for the pontoon, per

 "The
man_made=pier tag is used for a raised walkway over water
supported by
pillars made of metal/wood, or floating and secured using
chains",
plus floating=yes


It would depend on whether we are talking about a floating jetty:

or what our American friends would call a swimming raft:

http://manitoulincedar.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/swim-raft-2013.jpg



The first one is a pier but the second one isn't.

It seems that there are two ways to tag a swimming raft. The
first is from OpenSeaMap seamark:type=pontoon

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:seamark:type%3Dpontoon


There's 36 of these. The other is man_made=pontoon (There's 87
of these).

Maybe swimming_area

Turns out I can't read  If it's got a net then I guess it's barrier=net.

Hi all,

Probably a good time to introduce myself.

I'm Cameron Shorter, a bicycle rider, and software developer (for 
geospatial open source applications).


I live in Frenchs Forest, ride to the beaches and the city, and have 
been adding in some connector paths that were not on OSM yet, (in 
particular I'm hoping to improve data which drives OSM bicycle routing 
engine).


I'd be happy to hear any advice on how I could improve my edits. Based 
on feedback so far, I could probably do a better job of commenting my edits.


Cheers, Cameron

Welcome Cameron!
Anything you can do to improve the map is most welcome.

As far as comments go - 2 aspects to this ;
on the overall changeset - when you upload the data- Most like to see 
something descriptive ... I like to see some comment on the source of 
the information
on the individual added nodes/ways/relations - Adding the tag source= 
here - I like to do this ... some of my edits have multiple sources .. 
so I go overboard here and add the individual source tags.


The comments and sources are really to explain what your doing ..
 both to yourself and to other mappers ... if you come to look back at 
what you did a year ago they can be very helpful.
another 'explanation' tag is the note= tag .. the fixme= tag is for when 
you know something needs more work.

You could start off by reading the good practice guidelines:

how things are tagged in Australia:

and if your interests are in mapping cycling infrastructure:
