Just consider we are talking about pipelines here, "optical pipelines" which are going out of any urban area most of the time.
Indeed there's no point of mapping MAN networks in OSM since editing tools aren't able to distinguish such micro-data from the rest of the dataset yet. Like gas & oil pipelines, we can map markers and cables too, regarding long distance links. We won't be able to map optical circuits or L2 links and that's not the goal. Let's try to give a map of bare infrastructure before everyone forget about it (and before everyone dig in it 'cause no one can inform them of what is under their feet). FT/TRN markers are disappearing in France, get stolen or buried in fields borders and Jean-Marc's underwater ducts get sometimes forgotten by French navigable ways managers (even if they can be sustainably mapped in its GIS). Keep in mind that you have no marker in urban places : no mapping too. http://infos-reseaux.com/photos/album/71-dispositifs-reperage If you have suggestions for tags, just share with us. *François Lacombe* francois dot lacombe At telecom-bretagne dot eu http://www.infos-reseaux.com 2014-03-04 12:28 GMT+01:00 Pieren <pier...@gmail.com>: > On Tue, Mar 4, 2014 at 10:16 AM, François Lacombe > <francois.laco...@telecom-bretagne.eu> wrote: > > Are you going to map the markers only or the whole underground optical > cables ?
