and there is quite a lot of (mostly older) towers that merit the man_made=tower but would on the other hand be nice to be differentiated with subtagging: http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Datei:Towers_Munich_Petueltunnel_Olympia-Toren_BMW-Hoofdkantoor_muurwerk_en_staaltoren_lucht_afzuigen_uit_tunnel_via_schoorsteen_Luc_Deleu_Foto_2005_Wolfgang_Pehlemann_Wiesbaden_PICT0067.jpg&filetimestamp=20081230100700 http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Datei:Pisa_Turm.jpg&filetimestamp=20100206122335 http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Datei:Friedberg_%28Hessen%29_Adolfsturm_4735.jpg&filetimestamp=20090616222157 http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Datei:Parachute_Jump-1.jpg&filetimestamp=20060618220728 http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:SanGiminiano.jpg http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Montesantangelo0002.jpg http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Poetto.jpg http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Datei:DSC04737_Istanbul_-_La_Moschea_Blu_-_Minareti_-_Foto_G._Dall%27Orto_29-5-2006.jpg&filetimestamp=20061220231311 as well as those being integrated in buildings http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/07/BelfortBrugge.jpg having special functions (here: catch the wind) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Qanat_wind_tower.svg while beeing more than just industrial installations: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bad_Gir_Yazd_Dolat_Abad.jpg http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:aeroway%3Dcontrol_tower being military ones: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Israeli_West_Bank_barrier_watchtower.jpg http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8a/Flag-G-Turm_Augarten.jpg/450px-Flag-G-Turm_Augarten.jpg http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Datei:Berlin_Wall_Watch-Tower_Typ_BT-11_2_apel.JPG&filetimestamp=20071203114529 while those are all man_made=tower IMHO, that should not be the only tag to describe them. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
