From a technical point of view, a different tag wouldn’t be necessary either, it is already implicit whether a runway is tagged on a linear way or an area, but it could eventually be useful from a social point of view (if different tags are used people might be more aware and might eventually be mapping both on the same object more frequently) Cheers, Martin ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging

It's much easier and reliable to determine, length, bearing, centerline when mapped as a line ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging

Similar to riverbank, sometimes the shape (and it’s irregular outline, where it meets taxiways and aprons) is good to have for rendering at higher zoom levels where lines no longer show the proper land usage and areas more accurately reflect reality. anything that takes up the space of a village or a town should be mappable with a polygon in some fashion. As most airport facilities are already mapped via area (the apron, the overall airport grounds, the terminals, the grassy areas, parking, etc), so having *the* major feature that takes up a ton of space and is also easily mappable from imagery also mappable as an area seems like a common thing to map as an area. keeping the information on the way (like the ref and other details) and using this :area tag modifier to map the extent of the surface seems great to me.

Re: [Tagging] Runway area mapping?
I agree that “14/32” is a ref, not a name. Its similar to “I-80” for a motorway. (In the Openstreetmap-Carto style we render the runway ref, not the name, but only when it is mapped as a linear way) On Tue, May 21, 2019 at 11:58 AM Graeme Fitzpatrick wrote: > > > On Tue, 21 May 2019 at 11:36, Joseph Eisenberg > wrote: > >> The current wiki page suggests using "aeroway:area=runway" to map the >> outline of the runway, and mapping the "aeroway=runway" as a line >> along the center of the runway. >> >> Does everyone agree that aeroway:area is the right way to map runway >> areas, if this is considered necessary? >> >> And do we agree that runways should be mapped as linear ways, like >> highways and railways, not only as an area? >> > > I must admit that I only ever map the runway as a way, not an area. > > On the subject, I've just had a look at a few, & I see that there's now an > option (in iD at least) for "Runway number", which then apparently appears > as ref=. > > I've always put the runway number "14/32" in as the name=, & it's always > seemed to work OK. > > Is there any real preference? > > Thanks > > Graeme > ___ > Tagging mailing list > Tagging@openstreetmap.org > https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging > ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging

On the subject, I've just had a look at a few, & I see that there's now an option (in iD at least) for "Runway number", which then apparently appears as ref=. I've always put the runway number "14/32" in as the name=, & it's always seemed to work OK. Is there any real preference?
