http://osm.org/go/euki2g71B-- For this area I've used Dock "A dock is an '*enclosed'* area of water used for loading, unloading, building or repairing ships" For ships read barges. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Dock Don't be discouraged by the pictures showing large sea fairing ships. I think it stil applies to canals . Cheers Dave F. _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies
