Re: [talk-au] Melbourne Airport (mapped as both node and way)

I guess I was talking about navigating there by aircraft. For passengers, sure you'd want a passenger terminal location, and an entrance to the same. Ultimately, regardless of what form of transport you use, you are going to be navigating to a point. The question is there an automated algorithm

Re: [talk-au] Melbourne Airport (mapped as both node and way)

Certainly when navigating to an airport, you need a 'point' to navigate to. An calculation of a valid airport point from a airport boundary that may often include industrial parks, etc, is problematic - verging on intractable. Having this point 500m off significantly breaks stuff. It's a

Re: [talk-au] Melbourne Airport (mapped as both node and way)

When travelling to an airport, you normally travel to a terminal which are separately mapped, ideally with an entrance=main. Where would you put this point at say Sydney where international and domestic are on opposite sides? I think it's not the same as admin_center for admin boundaries. On

You might as well clean it up as somebody is eventually going to find it here: http://keepright.ipax.at/report_map.php?schema=50=56568170 and do it anyway. On Wednesday, 30 September 2015, 19:31, Andrew Harvey wrote: Currently Melbourne Airport appears in

Re: [talk-au] Melbourne Airport (mapped as both node and way)

When I added the area there weren't a lot of airports locally tagged as anything other than nodes. I was probably being a little cautious at the time, i'd think it would be safe to merge them now. On Wed, Sep 30, 2015 at 7:31 PM, Andrew Harvey wrote: > Currently

Hi, Another “me too” as I have almost exclusively used OSM mapping in my Garmin GPS for a few years now. It’s highlighted all sorts of things, missing turn restrictions, wrong speed limits (not visible but affects routing), street names etc. Even works overseas, although I’ve mainly used it as

Re: [talk-au] Melbourne Airport (mapped as both node and way)

@John I sympathies with your concern, but we can't hold up progress in the OSM database for the sake of a particular GPS vendor or piece of software not supporting the OSM data model. Right now with a point and area data consumers would need to try to automatically remove points where they are the
