Re: [Tagging] [RFC] Feature Proposal - Cell Phone Reception

OP here. While there has been an overwhelming amount of feedback (or criticism) for the proposal. I'd like to discuss thoughts and changes to the proposal based on this discussion and that on the community forum

Re: [Tagging] [RFC] Feature Proposal - Cell Phone Reception

Also true but no need for the "quotes". Mountain rescue teams don't just need to call 112/999. And although you can often make an emergency call without a SIM (I believe this does not actually work in the UK) nobody can call you unless you are registered and authorised on a network. On 7

Re: [Tagging] [RFC] Feature Proposal - Cell Phone Reception

Just a note about your "fact": your phone can roam to any available network when you are dialing the emergency number. You can even dial it without a SIM inserted in most countries. Hence why it displays the text "emergency calls only" in such cases. Circuits towards the emergency number are also

Re: [Tagging] [RFC] Feature Proposal - Cell Phone Reception

Two users on the same network standing next to each other can get different results. They may be connected to different base stations. CDMA is a whole other can of worms. There are so many variables, it's impossible to give detailed data for "cell phone reception at location X". But the

Re: [Tagging] [RFC] Feature Proposal - Cell Phone Reception

Also, from a practical point of view, data points about cell service are not going to have any relationship to other items in the osm database. And, they are likely going to be semi-automatically collected, and people probably want contour lines that are generated from points, not the points.

Re: [Tagging] [RFC] Feature Proposal - Cell Phone Reception

Hi all, I completely second comments about how variable mobile coverage is and will be actually hard to map on OSM. It's up to operators and regulatory authorities to make hypothesizes to publish maps which will depict only one precise situation. Such maps will only be simulations with many

Re: [Tagging] [RFC] Feature Proposal - Cell Phone Reception

I think locals will know when a village has no mobile phone coverage at all and I think it's suitable to be mapped as long as it's made sufficiently clear that it's not the sort of thing you map whilst just passing through. Incidentally, There are tags in OSM for measuring traffic on roads. On
