Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Mountaineer's mailbox

In the UK "Letterboxing" has been a practice on Dartmoor for quite a few years. http://www.legendarydartmoor.co.uk/lett_box.htm As suggested it isn't a common practice when it comes to summits in the UK. Regards Dudley From: santiago06d...@gmail.com Date: Tue, 6 Sep 2016 17:04:43 +0200

Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Mountaineer's mailbox

And once again the confusion begins... There are indeed hiker registers (and, for that matter, other guestbooks) at many locations other than summits. Sometimes they're optional "I was here" guestbooks. Sometimes they're "please register, because our funding depends on showing that we are

OK, that sounds good as well. Maybe still have some sort of tagging for the type so that we can show a letterbox as Mr Díaz de Argandoña requests? (As I said earlier, I'm unlikely to tag such a beast, because the clubs where I climb request that climbers not share coordinates of the registers or

Re: [Tagging] Water in bays, harbors, etc.

I'll be following this discussion with interest, because I suspect that a good many mappers have the same approach that I do in estuarine areas: "don't mess with the coastline, you're too likely to break something." My understanding is that the coastline is *supposed* to follow the high-water

Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Mountaineer's mailbox

I'm a mountaineer in one of those English-speaking countries that you mention, and I've certainly encountered the practice, which varies from having a climber's log ('register' is another keyword) at the summit, to a 'letterbox' such as you describe, to a 'geocache' where people leave trinkets.

Japan had huge protests and civil unrest when they appropriated land for the international airport in Narita - there are still houses in the middle of the taxiways today. People broke into the airport and destroyed the tower equipment, hoping to delay the opening of the airport. They created

Re: [Tagging] cave_entrance. ref and name

What about renderers? Should they render name or cave:name? If a small cave has only one entrance, is it right to name that entrance by the name of the cave? It's probably going to be used that way. We should tell Nominatim to start indexing cave:name tags. Janko uto, 6. ruj 2016. u 09:47

Following a short discussion on talk-de, I am asking for your comments regarding the tagging of intelligence service sites. Currently in Germany, these seem to be tagged as landuse=military plus name, operator and alt_name tags. example: http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/239950443 There are

Re: [Tagging] More no_u_turn

My suggestion is only for intersections. U_turns along a road are a whole new ball-game and are dependant on inter carriageway markings that are not normally tagged. I think these turns are best left to the driver, the map-data and the router should ignore them. Cheers Nick
