Sadly, in Winnipeg an attraction might not be far from the truth. As a travel writer from the Sydney Morning Herald put it "So what does Winnipeg have going for it? On the surface, not much. This is a city that counts a difficult intersection (the aptly named Confusion Corner) as a famous landmark, which should tell you all you need to know."
I digress, places like Confusion Corner and The Basketweave are typically used for navigation purposes, so while these places are often not formally listed (though Winnipeg Transit refers to Confusion Corner as Osborne Junction). I think the listing of these places is one of the strengths of OSM. We need to come up with a standard to tagging these places that exist primarily as a means to other places. (though VIA will sell you a ticket to places like Herchmer, Manitoba (http://osm.org/go/W6NBaQxa)) Sam Dyck From: William Rieck <bi...@thinkers.org> "Confusion Corner" reminded me of "The Basketweave" on the 401 in Toronto. http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=43.71829&lon=-79.50048&zoom=17&layers=M Here a mapper has tagged the node as an attraction.
