 This is probably redundant, but water supplies should have a point
 identifier. If you are prepared to drink stream or river water, I hope
 you have what you need to make it safe.

Depends where it is coming from, but dad always used to say if the
horses would drink it, it was safe for us to drink. :)

 As for the suitability for bike or walking use, anyplace you can walk
 too, I can get my bicycle. I would appreciate things like staircases
 being marked, but I can walk them. If it is in the city and it has
 disabled access, I don't have to get off my bicycle.

If you are bored enough you can also enter the number of steps, and I
think it was on the main talk list but you should have the direction
of the way from bottom to top of the stairs.

Thanks John and Liz.

I'll make sure the acknowledgement is loud and clear.

The map I'm producing now show up on the Garmin as OSM street map, Area 
63240001, Sep 2009.  I'm using mkgmap to prepare it, and 63240001.img 
is an intermediate file produced on the way to the gmapsupp.img final 
Garmin file.  So that label is applied somehow by mkgmap in my case.

I think I've been popping something like copyright OpenStreetMap.org 
CC-by-SA on the maps I've been making... or something like that. On the 
wrong computer at the moment...

Regardless of what the talk list may have said, I think that half of  
the existing steps in the database are mapped in the ascending  
direction and half are mapped in the descending direction. So as the  
wiki page suggests, I'd tag direction=up/down on them.

Tad more expensive that sat imagery, wonder what they charge for
archive imagery.

Did you or anyone else have a chance to look over the association

I've quickly made up a simple OSM style sheet to show town/postcode
