It's beginning to happen already. As OSM's data structures (principally "creative and unexpected uses of relations") and tags become more complex, and as the project expands beyond the initial audience of geeks, the editing tools are inevitably starting to abstract away the nitty-gritty. In two years' time, most users won't know or care what the cycleway tags are; they'll just click the cycleway icon(s) in their editor and tick the appropriate options, and the editor will invisibly sort the tags out. cheers Richard -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Fwd-Nav4All-navigation-shut-down-by-Navteq-tp4488024p4496813.html Sent from the General Discussion mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
