[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Line clamps

2018-07-26 Thread François Lacombe
Hi all, This proposal intends to free tower:type from specific power values (suspension, anchor...) and introduces line_clamp key https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Lines_clamps It may be useful to extend the concept to other power supports, not only towers and other fields of

Regarding this topic, and this particular picture : https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:Power-tower-h-frame_two-level.jpeg Do you agree to currently tag this as tower:type=suspension and maybe later according to proposal as line_clamp=suspension? Is there an opposite of suspension in English?

Thanks Paul, Then I add line_clamp=pin possibility. Strain and Shackle insulators both refers to line_clamp=anchor All the best François 2018-08-01 16:18 GMT+02:00 Paul Allen : > > On Wed, Aug 1, 2018 at 3:02 PM, François Lacombe < > fl.infosrese...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> >> Is there an opposi
