[Talk-us] Gov't/military firing ranges --- not sport
I'm reluctant to tag civil/military gov't firing ranges as sport. I'd consider them more as hazardous areas to mark/avoid, but I don't know how to tag them as such. Ideas? ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us

Re: [Talk-us] Gov't/military firing ranges --- not sport
I think I see your concern. I think Military should be tagged as Richard suggested, and the civilian ranges, including police should still be sport:shooting both per the wiki. Police use public ranges sometiems (or are open to public use) and if not they are reasonable contained and controlled to police only access anyhow. Would you be concerned about highway:raceway not conveying the danger of the area? You could be killed wandering around the wrong parts of either one. No need to over think things, and you can't eliminate the need for common sense with better tagging. -- Dale Puch On Sat, May 8, 2010 at 1:16 PM, David Carmean d...@halibut.com wrote: On Sat, May 08, 2010 at 10:39:37AM -0400, Richard Welty wrote: On 5/8/10 9:40 AM, David Carmean wrote: I'm reluctant to tag civil/military gov't firing ranges as sport.

Ah, ok; I think I made my question too generic; I actually want to map civil government (i.e. police) ranges 90% of the time. ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
