Most portages don't follow the river/creek so stating a side is not usefull - they need a separate way. On 23/02/2015 5:23 AM, Brad Neuhauser wrote: The portages I'm talking about, people carry their canoe as they walk along the trail, so those things aren't relevant. You seem to be talking ab

How about adding the side ? portage=left/right/both portage:left=* Are there any major differences in construction/use ? I know wooden portages but there might be other material. Any thoughts how to deal with mircromapping, e.g. adding the portage as own object next to a path. What tags should r

This seems like a good place for highway=path + portage=yes Because these are definitely still paths (and sometimes coincident with a land based path). whitewater=portage_way seems overly specific, as does canoe=portage. ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@
