[Talk-GB] shop=sports and sport=* rather than shop=sport and sports=*
Hi, Apparently 'someonelese' wants local discussion on this. There is documented discussion on the wiki that puts the case and I don't feel the need to repeat it here. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:shop%3Dsports I think using the sport=* tag means you have the same tag for both shops and pitches, etc. Meaning documentation is reduced, and a similar rendering scheme can be used. From https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/40537602 for a counter argument "1. As mentioned in my changeset comment, with shops it's common to use the format shop=x x=y to expand on the products sold. 2. There's no reason why the values included in the sports key tag on sports shop have to be exclusively sports. For example, sports=fitness;sport_supplements;bicycle_parts would be valid. My view is that if you think it's important to include the sport tag in these cases, then fine, go ahead and add it, but that should be in addition to the sports key and not instead. In general, I agree the tagging conventions in these situations could be improved and the sells=* tag might be a way to go about it. (This last from my comment about OSM inconsistencies in the tagging conventions!) -- There were less than 20 uses of sports=* tag worldwide... A sample of a section of the UK using Overpassturbo for shop=sports and sport=* has some 79 uses... - There is a clear statement on the wiki. There is a clear majority of uses that comply with the wiki. Are nonconforming tags that can be easily altered to the standard way to be left as non conforming? -- There are less than 20 uses of shop=sport ... but none of them are in the UK... they should be shop=sports ... ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

Hi OSM-GB, The Environment Agency recently release a massive trove of Open Data, which I am slowly started to process. One of the smaller and quicker to process datasets is the Night Time aerial imagery which I've now tiled and put online here: http://ea.openstreetmap.org.uk/ Birmingham: http://ea.openstreetmap.org.uk/#zoom=12=52.4831=-1.8772 Peterborough: http://ea.openstreetmap.org.uk/#zoom=13=52.5743=-0.2588 Northhampton: http://ea.openstreetmap.org.uk/#zoom=13=52.2458=-0.8871 Swindon: http://ea.openstreetmap.org.uk/#zoom=13=51.5793=-1.7931 London (Mostly South): http://ea.openstreetmap.org.uk/#zoom=11=51.5266=-0.0636 Unsure how useful the Night Time aerial imagery is for OpenStreetMap proposes, but it sure does look good ;-) Kind regards, Grant ___ Talk-GB mailing list talk...@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb ___ Talk-gb-westmidlands mailing list Talk-gb-westmidlands@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb-westmidlands

[Talk-gb-westmidlands] August Meetup
Hi everyone Which Saturady is best for everyone? I can't make 13th, all the rest are OK. Remember we're going to Pershore to map as much of WR10 as possible for mappa mercia's 10th anniversary. Perhaps we should make the whole of August a local mini-project for WR10?
