I know mineshaft you can get very close to (2-3m). With your argument half of the features of OSM should not be mapped e.g. historic=wreck or streets within the ground of a factory. And once again: mineshafts which have a headframe are very good points of reference. Often names of mineshafts are also used to describe where something is (e.g. somebody could say: "You will not know the street, but it's near the Foobar Mineshaft."). Mineshafts and mines are also mapped on many commercial maps. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
