Re: [Tagging] How to map terrace buildings with names

[Tagging] bus:guided access modifier

2019-10-24 Thread Neil Matthews
If sections of a busway are not accessible to a normal "bus", but only to a specially capable guided bus -- would it be acceptable to use "bus:guided" as an access modifier? Cheers, Neil ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.

I mark the part of the way that "underlaps" the building with "building passage" in Josm, i.e. tunnel=building_passage (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:tunnel#tunnel.3Dbuilding_passage) -- maybe add a maxheight too :-) Neil On 13/08/2018 21:10, Volker Schmidt wrote: > How do I correctly t

How should one map that an establishment accepts payment in the local town currency* (as well as the traditional national one), e.g. Bristol pounds (B£) as well as pounds sterling (GBP). Cheers, Neil *actually a gift voucher -- where B£1 == £1. ___ T

Re: [Tagging] Access=no for bus lanes

I quite often find "access=no", replaced by "motor_vehicle=no" by armchair editors -- I think they want to make sure that horses can use the bus lanes? Neil On 08/06/2018 13:18, Martin Koppenhoefer wrote: > 2018-06-08 10:44 GMT+02:00 François Lacombe >: > > >

Re: [Tagging] Proposal: logo tag. Opinions?

I guess logos are a sort of "cut-price" street view? Some logos will need language/country specific options -- which might make tagging them useful. Unless localization already works with wikidata? How to find e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Burger_King_Arabic_logo.svg from https://www.wi

Re: [Tagging] RFC: Defaults are paramount, abandoning Proposed_features/ is a HUGE mistake

2017-09-01 Thread Neil Matthews
