That is exactly one of the points i was trying to make. You can try to create a better map from map styles that are not only not optimized for the Antarctic but where also, for the most part, the Antarctic did not receive any consideration in map design. Or you can try to record semantically meaningful information about the geographic reality. Doing both at the same time is unlikely going to work. Even more clear in that regard is the use of secondary tags like snowmobile=yes, ice_road=yes, surface=ice. These are evidently factually wrong. > What is OSM's parameter to judge existence? To be clear - as far as i can see no one has doubted that research stations, supply routes and traces of overland traverses on the polar plateau are verifiable information that can and should be recorded in OpenStreetMap. The question at hand is how to tag these so that the data in OSM documents in a well defined way what is and what is not known about the features in question. -- Christoph Hormann https://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
