[talk-au] redaction cleanup - unusual water feature

2012-08-25 Thread Peter Watson
I would also reuse the existing nodes and tag as natural= water just make
sure the  join between the 'lake' and the coastline share two nodes. In Aus
we call them Canals but they obviously not the same as a canal in the UK
though I have seen them tagged waterway=canal also. I prefer to have the
coastline at the edge of the sea, ie across a river mouth, though I see
there is discussion about having all the tidal part as coastline, but I
don't no how you work that out from a quick survey or Bing.

[talk-au] redaction cleanup - unusual water feature

2012-08-24 Thread Chris Barham
Hi,
I'm working on the post redaction checks from the rebuild server at
http://rebuild.poole.ch/job/29

And I'm a bit confused by this: http://osm.org/go/ueHoaPP9--

If you look at Bing imagery for this location it is composed of some sort
of inland harbour/marina/coastline/water feature which had previously been
mapped (rather elegantly too by the look of it), from Nearmap as source.
 Post redaction there are the outline nodes left,and I'm was wondering how
to go about reinstating this coastline/water?  Join up the existing nodes?
 Start again?  What tags?

Cheers,
Chas

I would re-use the existing nodes. Regarding tagging I was about to 
suggest natural=water but then I did some reading in the wiki. So I 
think natural=coastline is the right thing to use.


There's a similar structure a bit south which is tagged as 
waterway=riverbank - I don't think that's a good idea.

I'd join up the existing nodes if possible.

South-East Queensland has many of these canal systems in residential areas. 
Take a look at the Gold Coast region for some tips if you want examples -

Miami in Florida might be another place to reference for such features.

As others have said , I'd re-use the existing nodes.

I'd probably tag this as natural = water
