Re: [Talk-GB] Mapping a single Royal Mail mailbox with two references
The Wiki says, "Sometimes several post boxes are standing together and can most often be tagged with one single node. If the boxes have different reference numbers this is tagged as ref=12242;23214. You can also use two separate nodes in such cases, which may be more appropriate if the boxes are two separate physical entities. It would also be necessary to use two nodes if the two boxes had different collection times or item restrictions and you wanted to tag these differences." So, if their type and collection times are the same, I think you can choose to tag 2 separate nodes, or one node with 2 refs, separated by a semi-colon.

What's the most appropriate way to map a single physical Royal Mail mailbox with two signs and references? I recently stumbled upon such a mailbox and created a POI for each sign / reference: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/8214997322 https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/8215022917 However given the collection times are the same and it is just one physical mailbox would it be better to have a single POI with two references? ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
