Indeed. Sometimes drains, though built principally for irrigation/drainage, are later used for navigation as well - in the UK, the Middle Level (Cambridgeshire) and Witham Navigable Drains (Lincolnshire) are probably the two best examples. I'd tag these as waterway=drain, boat=yes. cheers Richard _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
