Re: [Tagging] How to tag traffic islands ?

No, those turn lanes are not traffic islands. Many larger highways in have these specially marked center lanes that are used only by vehicles wanting to turn off the highway. Here's a shot of one on a road I frequently use in Eugene, Oregon https://www.dropbox.com/s/5xpguslcp0wfcb3/center%20lane.j

Re: [Tagging] Tagging airport approach aid systems

Hi, I've been the person updating the aeroway=navigationaid wikipage over the past year or two, so I messaged geozeisig about the "Please use airmark=beacon instead" banner. It sounds like the German OSM community came up with the airmark=beacon scheme, and it is more fully documented on the German

[Tagging] Named junctions

I've learned that in some countries each junction has a name/ref and that these are used for navigation. At small junctions you may just find a node with a name tag, but at larger junctions or roundabouts I see all kinds of "tricks" to place an object with a name. I'd suggest to use a node ta

Re: [Tagging] Tagging airport approach aid systems

I would use navigation aid=* I tagged a ton of Approach Aids (PAPI, localizers, VOR, etc) for Narita Airport (NRT) and the navigation aid subkey covers all of it and is very well documented. If you understand a pilot's airport diagram guide, it's easy to tag the correct information. Airmark=*

[Tagging] Tagging airport approach aid systems

Hello, there. I'm trying to map some approach aid systems on a local airport, but I have trouble choosing the correct tags: the wiki mentions aeroway=navigationaid, and navigationaid=* to precise type, but this page has a banner telling to use airmark=beacon, an almost empty page with no instru
