Re: [talk-au] Help checking out huts on the Overland Track

Last I looked the osm Australia download was months old. 

I use garmin.openstreetmap.nl.  Fast and up to date.

 Hi
 
 Thanks for that.  Must be the changes are not reflected in the OSM Australia 
 download that I did two days ago. Normally Alpine Hut shows up.  In my Garmin 
 file it is showing as a shelter so you need to be down at less than 50 metres 
 for it to show.  Alpine huts hang in for 2km from memory. 
 
 Actually would not mind working with someone to put up a bushwalking specific 
 img so mountains and foot designated paths hang in.
 
 Oh and I be Ent.   Mapped the area out in detail for our nine day walk. 
 
 Once again thanks for the prompt response, much appreciated. 
 
 Cheers

 Hi Brett,
 
 Can you be a little more specific.  What is your OSM id?
 
 The Pine Valley Hut used to be amenity=hut, and now is tourism=alpine_hut.
 
 I can't imagine the latter will show up.
 
 It was changed by user=Ent on the 22nd of May, but no other changes for 
 years..
 
 Ian.

 There is a legal difference between a divided highway and a freeway in
 Australia, so if it is not actually called a freeway/motorway via
 signage then it really isn't one.

 
 Firstly, I'm a little sceptical of there actually being a legal
 difference.   Can you point to a source that would make this clear?

The Australian road rules (on which each states rules are based) :-

RR 97 Road access signs
RR 177 Stopping on a freeway

There are also rules that reference these rules such as the exceptions
for a garbage truck stopping does not include an exception to RR 177

Any sign that has the following is considered a freeway :-

freeway
motorway
tollway
expressway

The update cycle can be erratic. Normally a day or two behind but a bit late 
this time.
