Re: [Tagging] units and notations for maxstay

Already handled by ISO8601: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Durations I think any discussion of dates and times should start by asking if we could apply ISO8601 to the problem at hand. For example the other thread about start date variants. Andrew On Wed, Feb 20, 2019, 12:48 Warin <61

Re: [Tagging] Fwd: [tagging] Canoe route / nautical channels

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 >

Re: [Tagging] units and notations for depth

Quite right. For OSM purposes I suggest depth in metres, if water is tidal=yes also tidal_range in metres. I can't think of any reason to try to replicate nautical charts and tide tables. And when planning navigation I do not consider not using formal navigation charts and tables specific to t

Re: [Tagging] Drain vs ditch

I'm not in favour of combining ditch and drain. My mind sees a ditch as a dug-out stream which may flow into a stream or flow into a drain, the drain being a much larger flow. I see drains as having water flow several metres wide but a ditch as less than a metre of surface flow. TonyS On 11/0

Re: [Tagging] units and notations for depth

Depth of water in tidal areas can vary enormously. People using depth for navigation and general use would expect to use depth at MLWS (Mean Low Water Springs) and add increments based on tide tables, I suggest that OSM does the same. Use the tidal tag and perhaps a tidal-range tag, in metres,

Re: [Tagging] Drain vs ditch

Canals and ditches are artificial channels carrying naturual water, so are the channels of a straightened river or stream. imho there is not difference between them. If we had such sections tagged as artificial waterways it would be possible to calculate statistics on man's impact on natural waterw

I’m a physician. Sharps boxes are designed for safe disposal of all sharp medical waste, whether a scalpel, needle or broken glass. I asked a British doctor, and she confirms that “sharps” is also the correct term in England. Syringes are not sharp. It’s the needle (which may be attached to a syr
