Re: [Tagging] Correct use of height with kerb

2020-01-11 Thread Alessandro Sarretta
Hi Volker, the values raised and lowered for a kerb (node) are related to the vertical gap between sidewalk/crossing and not really to the direction. Raised means that there is a (more or less) big transition (in the kerb page [1] it says >3 cm), while lowered means a smaller transition, and

Most locals on the Kokoda Trail have no footware, that goes better in mud and river crossings. All tourists ware footwear and think/know that this is a hiking route. To give an idea of 'hardness' there is one part where most are on hands and knees.

The taginfo map is misleading, because it doesn't show the location of relations, and almost all route=power features are relations with type=route. Try overpass-turbo instead, for example in Italy: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/PF9 On 1/11/20, Warin <61sundow...@gmail.com> wrote: > On 11/1/20 4:19
