I've only mapped one station like this so far, but the area is actually rendered on the map. https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/616033018 On Thu, Sep 20, 2018 at 9:43 AM Tom Pfeifer wrote: > Yes of course, I've been doing this for long already. > > On 20.09.2018 14:06, Philip Barnes wrote: > > Y

old concerts and the like. I guess I wasn't very clear in the my original message, hopefully that clears it up for you. Jgon6 On Tue, Jul 31, 2018 at 7:07 AM Martin Koppenhoefer wrote: > > > 2018-07-28 5:11 GMT+02:00 Mike H <1jg...@gmail.com>: > >> I came

[Tagging] amenity=festival_ground

I came across the tag amenity=festival_grounds and it has quite a bit of variance in its use. I wrote a diary entry on it so I have more details there. https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/jgon6/diary/44497 Basically, the tag has 3

Re: [Tagging] default access tag for driveways

service=driveway isn't just for residential driveways. It is also used for other driveways. Here is an example of a driveway to a church. https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/100946154 I would agree that residential driveways should probably be implied as access=private. Jgon6 On Fri, Jul 27, 2018

Re: [Tagging] building = house vs detached.

It seems that detached is supposed to be a more detailed value than house. I went through as many house type values for building as I could find of taginfo, and put them into a table quite a few of them look to be duplicates/typos. I've attached that table to this email. I used the parent column th

[Tagging] building = house vs detached.

The definitions of building=house and building=detached on the wiki are very similar and don't seem to have any meaningful difference. I've seen people say that house is meant for rowhouses, and detached should be for stand-alone houses, but there is no documentation that explains that. If that is

Re: [Tagging] Unifying large multi-location store chains

I'd like to point out that I've seen a lot of chains like these tagged with a wikipedia=* tag for the brand, they should use the brand:wikipedia tag instead. This is a big problem for Nominatim right now, as it ranks results based on wiki tags. So if you are going through these it would be a great

[Tagging] Slipway vs boat ramp

The user Tex Shotcaller made me realize that there are two different kinds of slipway. There is the traditional slipway where you have a track to slide the boat down, and then there are boat ramps where you drive a trailer into the water and float the boat off the trailer. Both of these are very di

Re: [Tagging] recent change to https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:power%3Dtower

It looks like they removed the details on the different types and structures, in order to move that information onto a separate page. This separate page looks to be currently undeveloped though. I'm not sure if it should be on the same page or on multiple pages but it looks like that was the intent
