Hi everyone, A colleague'd been informally mapping disguised cellphone masts and towers. I suggested that OSM should be able to accommodate her data plus cough up information about said structures that had already been mapped but, in fact, it wasn't so. I proposed a new key, mimics, and it's been voted upon and approved (21 zip, 3 abstentions).
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:mimics I'd appreciate your help in making the use of this key more widespread. Two things to do existing masts or towers : - tag them with mimics=*. Initial values are: eucalyptus, oak, palm, pine, or tree; saguaro or cactus - remove tower:construction=concealed. After discussion this use of tower:construction has been deprecated as these towers & masts are most definitely not concealed even if the telecom equipment they contain is. If you are willing to contribute a photo of a cellphone mast or tower camouflaged as a eucalyptus, oak, saguaro, or cactus, it would be most welcome as a companion illustration for that Value on the wiki page. Early solstice greetings to you all. Eric
