Re: [Talk-us] cycle.travel US bike routing, and unreviewed rural TIGER

Usually I change it to =yes instead of just deleting it. The main reason is I frequently use ITOworld maps to review the county I live in to find unreviewed roads, and I like the color pattern better that way. -jack On June 22, 2015 2:46:36 AM EDT, Bryce Nesbitt bry...@obviously.com wrote:

[Talk-us] Things that are not buildings but are used as one

Is it correct to tag a non-building object with building=yes if it is functionally used as one? As examples, I'm thinking about restaurants that use an old train car as a dining room, or this unusual example of a riverboat as a welcome center http://osm.org/go/Tv8f5t42q?layers=Nway=349671718

[Talk-us] Truck stop gas stations as caravan_site

Hi folks, I was wondering if it is appropriate to tag truck stops with tourism=caravan_site. I've noticed a lot of them tagged this way, presumably because many of the truck stop chains allow overnight parking of RVs, some have dump stations, etc. The wiki on caravan_site seems to imply a

Re: [Talk-us] Boundaries and verifiability (was Re: Retagging hamlets in the US)

I would politely disagree that TIGER is an authoritative source for two reasons: 1) The extensive TIGER cleanup that is still being done years after the last import, and 2) While helpful at compiling data, the federal government is not authoritative for any boundaries within a state (and once

Re: [Talk-us] Destination tagging

I don't see where you're getting the interstate references shouldn't go in the destination tag bit...can you quote the sentence/paragraph on that? I agree that it seems wrong, for the same reason you listed. The ref= tag is used for the highway number on the actual highway itself. E.g., I-95

Re: [Talk-us] Retail Example using OSM

I'll be out on a limb and say that the reason is because they know not all locations for a particular business are mapped in OSM and so they don't want to rely on OSM for the actual locations. Which begs the question of why Where 2 Get It doesn't edit OSM themselves to add the locations

Re: [Talk-us] State highway refs (was Re: New I.D Feature)

In Georgia, (almost?) all state roads are signed with the state outline and the highway number, but no GA or Georgia text with it. Occasionally you might see State Road or State Route printed on the sign in addition to the state outline. In some very rural areas, I think there might still be a

[Talk-us] Directional suffixes on roads: yes or no?

Howdy, I have a question about how much effort should be put into adding directional suffixes to road names. Many counties around Atlanta have adopted directional suffixes for roads, both in incorporated areas as well as outside city limits. Usually all areas in the county use the same
