But this thread started with people complaining about lack of commercial usability because of "tagging mayhem" (Nic's term). Although I share Ivan's sentiment (producing something commercially usable should not be our #1 goal), maybe we can stick with that for a moment - let us try and find out what data the commercial providers have and which is *not* on one simple Wiki page (or a mug). It can't be the murky details of cycleways and bridleways because the commercial providers don't have that, or if they have it then only in selected areas. It can't be highway=path and all that because they don't have it. It can't be - in my opinion! - the top highway types from motorway down to residential because they aren't any better in that than we are (or are they). It could be turn restrictions; I agree that an easy editor for those is required - but while the tagging rules are a bit complex for turn restrictions, they are not mayhem - they are perfectly clear. So where is it that 1. the commercial providers have good data 2. OSM hasn't and 3. the reason for OSM not having it is not lack of coverage but lack of consensus regarding tagging?
