Re: [Tagging] How might we best map emergency helicopter landing zones?

I tag them as aeroway=helipad, and it looks like this: http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/35.2932/127.5317 There are a lot of them in the mountains of Korea. Usually marked out with a pattern of white stones embedded in the ground. Would like to know if there's a better way, or if doing it

Re: [Tagging] How might we best map emergency helicopter landing zones?

aeroway=helipad should be used only for built-up infrastructure, not for emergency places that have a different use normally. An emergency landing place is nothing but a predefined clear space, it could be a soccer pitch or a big lawn in a park in normal situations. There is already

[Tagging] How might we best map emergency helicopter landing zones?

Dear friends, I have worked with folks doing ground surveys of helicopter landing zones during emergency response. These are ground truthed locations, observed by active search and rescue helicopter pilots collecting the basic minimum critical ground survey items for an HLZ for their aircraft

[Tagging] railway=rail vs. railway=subway

Should a commuter rail system with rapid transit frequency but main line-standard tracks be tagged as railway=subway or railway=rail? In Hong Kong, the MTR metro system has an "urban" set of DC 1432mm-gauge lines, and another set of AC standard gauge lines (East Rail Line, West Rail Line and Ma

Hi, railway=* should depend on the infrastructure only. The services which use the track, don't matter. Am 22.11.2016 um 15:41 schrieb Michael Tsang: > On Tuesday 22 November 2016 11:28:00 jc86035 wrote: >> Should a commuter rail system with rapid transit frequency but main >> line-standard

Re: [Tagging] How might we best map emergency helicopter landing zones?

That sounds good for the wooden (!) helipad visible in https://binged.it/2gdSX38 , too. That's no longer in regular use, and the H has been removed from it, because the fire tower visible to the southwest is no longer staffed. It's still viable for an emergency (and sees an occasional flight to
