Ah yes, that's what I was looking for. I searched for "slope" and didn't find anything, but now that I added the word slope to it it should turn up.

It's not exactly obvious on the ground either without a protractor and level or more complicated surveying equipment, so I'll just go with up/down. (It is obvious which direction the slope is in many newer residential subdivisions though, if you have high enough resolution to see drains, since the side that water won't flow into isn't curved: http://www.openstreetmap.org/edit?lat=28.417942&lon=-81.491847&zoom=20 ) _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
