Sure, it works for me. I've only mapped one canoe route so far and, based on this thread, have already added the waterway=fairway tag to all the previously untagged ways in the route. On Wed, Feb 20, 2019 at 4:12 AM Graeme Fitzpatrick wrote: > > On Wed, 20 Feb 2019 at 01:30, Fernando Trebien >

"Direction of flow" isn't quite right for a canoe route that crosses a lake. Also, it would be rare but not impossible, for a canoe route to move against the flow when traversing a stream. But, unless someone can think of a better way to word this, I'm okay with what's there. Such refinements can
