Re: [Talk-ca] Tagging Rail POIs - Help please
Canvec has the same problem, stations that had service many years ago are still tagged as stations, even if they been replaced by new stations. Smith Falls, Ontario has three stations shown, one is the current VIA Rail station, one is a former station and the third is not even on a track.

Bonjour Sam, You're right! As we don't have the resources to update the entire map content, we might have to rely on you folks and use your work to update NRCan maps.

Seems odd that there isn't a reference to something like man_made:sign_post railway:marker railway:location railway:signal etc. Punt the ball to the tagging list? tagg...@openstreetmap.org Yes please. Or, at least to talk@. This is not a unique Canadian tagging issue. We'd like to be in-line with the consensus. Also, taginfo.openstreetmap.org might be helpful, though I usually find that most-helpful if I already know which tag i should use. That's not the case here. :-) ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca

In regards to Andrew and Richard's comments, I find place:locality to be suitable for this situation. I have used it for places like Diamond, Manitoba. It has also been used to mark highway junctions with names (such as Confusion Corner in Winnipeg).

I hope everyone is doing well. Mappy New year :-) I have noticed a fellow contributor add some POIs recently, that may be of interest but that I believe are incorrectly tagged. I've tried messaging the contributor, to no avail. You might want to discuss this on either the talk@ list or the tagging@ list. There are rail-fans in the community in many countries and you probably want feedback from several perspectives. At issue here are a conflict between, map what is verifiable and don't surprise people with the way that you use your tags. it might be that this location would be considered a halt rather than a station.
