Hi, why fix it later, that creates extra work? and what do you mean 'fixed'? i thought having them mapped with one of 3 different tagging schemes was a good thing? I agree with Dave's responses so won't repeat them. Just a few extra points: no-one's forcing anybody. lots of people use

Hi, OK, so several thousand people are using amenity=foo. Are they all using it for the same thing? How can you tell? true. There's landuse=farm on the Map Features page. Some used it for farm land, some for farm yards (thus farmyard had been introduced, which only solves half of the issue

Hi I've noticed that paths are no longer rendered on the cycle map (were they once? i believe so, but i'm not sure) and that is unfortunate for my abuse of the cycle map as an hicking map, but understandable :) however, it seems that the names remained (at zoom level 15 - 17)

Re: [OSM-talk] Path rendering in the cycleway

Hi, highway=path has never been rendered on the cyclemap. highway=footway is currently rendered, so if you want it to appear, then you'll need to use that tag. was it possible to add highway=path? Best regards, ce ___ talk mailing list
