each other. If you are at a suitable zoom level (z13-18) an edit tab will

this is going to need a bit of organisation and collaboration more than normal
I was putting in stuff from Lameroo last night and I had photographed a bus
stop on the Albury to Adelaide route
I can't make a relation yet for this bus route as I have one bus stop on it

At the moment I'm not trying to define anything. But a shared path that's
frequently used by cyclists means it's used as a cycleway.

If you can propose something easier that's still verifiable, I'll be convinced.

If the meaning of a tag is "difficult to pin down", IMHO it is

With all footpaths being shared paths here in the ACT, what makes a good
cycling path is sometimes difficult to pin down.
More often than not it's the width. It's good to be able to pass a nervous
cyclist coming the other way without them feeling the need to get off the
path. It's also good t

The one in NSW is a suburb the other 2 are small towns, both look like they

Also Gladston, SA, Tas and NSW.

Georgetown
I also started logging searches, that way common spelling mistakes can be dealt
with as well.
I'm also thinking if they don't supply the street type, it can go through half
a dozen or a dozen common street postfixes and see if anything matches that way
too.
Also I could probably make state op

If you lump bbq in with the covered area you then have people tagging it as
fuel=wood and does that mean we can rip hunks off the sheltered area to put in
the bbq? :)

I suggested:

I've been looking for some kind of simple search that can be added to the map

Yeah, it just seems more logical as "picnic_site" is a term which describes a
large area (if anything it would probably be better suited to an area than a
node in most cases) whereas bbq, bench and shelter are all discreet objects.
But saying that I can't really see any major drawbacks to what's

In that case you would also often find yourself using bbq=yes.

I'd say that the best solution would be
tourism=picnic_site;shelter/cover/rainproof=yes. The reason being that it's not
just a shelter, it's a picnic site which happens to be under cover.
