While deducing other underground pipelines from markers and manhole/valve lids, I have occasionally added some nodes with manhole=drain, too. Some could do with a, say, location=kerb tag if the kerb isn't yet drawn as a way. I believe most of the 760 uses of manhole=drain so far aren't mine, though. >manhole=drain is clearly wrong I would say. Around here most of the storm drains are identical in appearance to regular manholes: round, about 60 cm diameter, flat on the asphalt, with a removable 2-3 cm thick iron lid - the lid is just perforated. Seem's there's no picture in the wiki, so I'll add one once I find one from my mapping photos. The manhole=* key has been used roughly for any dedicated metal cover in the ground and with space underneath - from valve covers in the street to district heating pipeline junction box access manholes to big hatches to (whatever they're hiding). It's the simplest categorization for anyone a) not working with them professionally b) non-native english speakers; i.e. "I see a metal cover on the ground" -> add manhole=*, and possible refining tags. And it doesn't exclude others tagging them as man_made=storm_drain :) Btw. could you/may I upload the photos you linked to a few messages back to the osm wiki, for illustrating the kerb discussion? If they're yours to give. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-ZazzZqW8w5U/TkNH_duXp5I/AAAAAAAAAEs/kwDNJFxO9BE/s800/IMG_20110806_170811.jpg https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-gD6RfYExBTc/TkNNqT-MNuI/AAAAAAAAAFI/gqh2ROwDkNQ/s800/IMG_20110811_132316.jpg https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ML8g03AXppA/TkNO5KLLIeI/AAAAAAAAAFY/O42YukZE_EY/s800/IMG_20110811_132337.jpg _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
