Hi All,
Kathmandu Living Labs took the time to compile a really useful tagging guide specific to Nepal. There’s one specific tagging guide for roads here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nepal/Roads There’s a more general Nepal tagging guide here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmYd3Y40Dfk8dGk4TzgtVmE5RExMVGNncEEzb2JtSHc&usp=drive_web#gid=0 I would strongly recommend following KLL’s guidelines wherever possible, they put a lot of thought into crafting a tagging scheme specific to Nepal’s context. And for those who don’t know, a galli is an alley. Very useful word in Kathmandu :) Best, Robert — Sent from Mailbox On Mon, Apr 27, 2015 at 12:20 PM, Pierre Béland <[email protected]> wrote: > Arun > I also saw a lot of inconsistencies.
