-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear all,
I propose the tag man_made=lamp for lamps, together with a number of additional tags for lamp type, light source, power and so on. Central motivations for this proposal are: - - Lamps are clearly visible landmarks for orientation, mainly at night. - - Mapping lamps gives a detailed image of the lighting situation. The present tagging does not suffice for this: - - highway=street_lamp does not apply to any other lamp type. - - Tagging lamps as highway features is at least questionable. - - There is no tag for other types of lamps. - - There are no tags for lamp properties, such as light source and power. You can find the full proposal for a unified lamp tagging here: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/lamp This tagging has evolved from a thorough discussion in the German OSM forum: http://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=23041 In the forum it has also been suggested to start voting soon, since mapping lamps is done most easily during the dark time of the year, which is just starting (in the northern hemisphere, where most mappers are located). Voting will therefore be opened soon, unless there are further suggestions / improvement / discussions required. Best, Manuel -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJSdlUMAAoJEPvf9RrsekSyRBAIAKKJPEXvoMP4MFFkCqgUvGe/ 3yfvO4whc3Eiy3NI1xGhjj0sHH/mQ/qmJvTQhn23Sw1eRdCFY52dzrtN9uNmlSGG KGoDw/mKsN1BhpWB8lIfNBFjoYJCHLgTtsdo7XmZAkXzELmzV0DgtajR16CovCln 3pjrHe8Uc9IQ35/K3tYa9G7v1r8FOMQ5EzUEWrLR+8HD9jIi+Hqi+cYIul0iYL5F ac4Hy3fZ/hftVhLroqlvYZG30efxF98L8WjuL+rokESC2AwD7Uovod178u8ghG0H Wb6fUoebOXDNivs9HbY8LCJaf1RZUr1FB3EjWjw8l1W7gl8Hn0do9hvpTjT5HZo= =H7nz -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
