[Tagging] Truckage company
Hi! Any suggestion how to tag a transport company (a company forwarding goods, don't know how you call these guys from the Güterbeförderungsgewerbe like DPD etc. in English)? I mean these guys here (DPD depots in Austria): http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/5nc /al ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
Re: [Tagging] cleanup of the key natural

I'm in a hurry now, just a remark: natural=tree should be kept, it does fit logically into the scheme, it says: one tree. Like a spring, a bay, a wetland, a rock etc mud doesn't fit, for natural that would be wetland (with appropriate subtags). The same for sand, this would be beach or desert or wasteland or ... sand or mud aren't geographical features in my understanding, they are orthogonal and hence are creating conflicts (because you could either tag beach or sand etc) What might be disputed is water. In my reading something like lake or pond would fit better, but this can be done with subtagging as well, like it is already proposed so I wouldn't change water for historical reasons cheers, Martin ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging

The companies often refer to their sector as logistics, although I think that's probably the marketing people trying to sound clever, and that the people actually driving and loading the trucks will call it transport. __John ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging

Other possible descriptions would be: “haulage” for large loads. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haulage “courier” for smaller items. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Courier Dudley From: John Sturdy Sent: Thursday, 9 October 2014 12:26 To: Tag discussion, strategy and related tools On Thu, Oct 9, 2014 at 7:25 AM, Andreas Labres l...@lab.at wrote: Any suggestion how to tag a transport company (a company forwarding goods, don't know how you call these guys from the Güterbeförderungsgewerbe like DPD etc. in English)?
