How would you measure the distance from, for example, B->D? It's not a straight line. A minor error, I suppose, for an intersection, especially a simple intersection like the one you've outlined, but if the concept is going to be extended beyond intersections, the error could potentially be expanded as well. And if we're going to take the time to carefully micromap an intersection as an area, we might as well be as accurate as possible. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
