Hi all,
About turning point, one of the example I sent you is completely composed of
turning points.
Remember few weeks ago I was writing about a border segment that was
initially based on a stream but the stream changed over years? here it is
http://www.internationalboundarycommission.org/coordinates/HallsStream.htm
About making differences between monument and turning points, We could use
ref=tp (with no space) or create a tag like survey_point=*. I would
prefer adding a prefix.
Cheers,
Daniel

For the area here, they appear to all have monuments or the imagery is of
insufficient quality to determine. What's the difference between a survey
point and a turning point? Is it that one has a small change in direction
while the other has a large change in direction?
For the 49th parallel, all of the monuments are of the form Mon xx or Mon.
xx
For the other regions, I see some are of the form TP xx.
I don't think survey_point=turning_point is what we should use.
http://taginfo.openstreetmap.de/keys/survey_point#values shows that it's
mainly used to indicate the physical form of the survey point.
