Hiking trail relations and other route relations have already been mapped with the role start on elements at the start of the route (often a guidepost). I suggest you stick to that and try fomalizing it. end seems a good role for the end. lørdag 10. august 2013 skrev Fernando Trebien følgende:

Trailheads are not necessarily start/end or associated with a particular trail. It's more like a train station, a place you go to change from one transport mode to another, from which perhaps multiple trails can be accessed. pgpv5kHKK4rzr.pgp Description: PGP signature

[Tagging] incline default unit ?

2013-08-11 Thread fly
Hey In the wiki [1] it is written that the default unit for incline=* is %. Still I find almost non values without a unit with taginfo [2]. Well, should we suggest to always use a unit or do we need to take care that at least presets do not suggest to add the default unit ? Opinions ? Cheers

It has units in the sense that expressing the slope in percentage will give a different number than expressing it in degrees, for any value other than zero (completely level). For example, a 45° slope is the same thing as a 50% slope. ael law_ence@ntlworld.com wrote: On Sun, Aug 11, 2013

For example, a 45° slope is the same thing as a 50% slope. Not to get too technical, but I believe that a 45 degree angle is equivalent to a 100% grade [1] Mike [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grade_(slope) On Sun, Aug 11, 2013 at 3:02 PM, John F. Eldredge j...@jfeldredge.comwrote: It has

Ah. I had always assumed, incorrectly, that a 100% slope meant vertical. Mike Thompson miketh...@gmail.com wrote: For example, a 45° slope is the same thing as a 50% slope. Not to get too technical, but I believe that a 45 degree angle is equivalent to a 100% grade [1] Mike [1]
