Hi. The contributor who widely use utility=* to map street cabinet, Xoff, in Birmingham area told me he agree utility=* replacement by a more consistent tagging scheme.
As I said in first mail of this thread, here are some ideas for the replacement. Don't do mass edit but look carefully to each object. utility=pole => power=pole (or power=tower) - Only if the pole carries power lines. utility=power_sub_station => power=substation utility=electric => power=* - We have to choose the value which best match the need. utility=electricity => power=* - Idem utility=power => power=* - Idem utility=power_station => power=substation or power=plant - Depends of what is it actually, a plant or a substation ? Have a look to power map features https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_features#Power Cheers. *François Lacombe* francois dot lacombe At telecom-bretagne dot eu http://www.infos-reseaux.com 2014-04-07 18:57 GMT+02:00 François Lacombe < [email protected]>: > Hi > > > 2014-04-07 18:40 GMT+02:00 fly <[email protected]>: > >> What about man_made=pole/mast/tower ? >> >> > It was discussed month ago on this mailing-list and it was a pain to get > it adopted, and then failed. > We do have power=tower and power=pole, I'll let the one who will try to > map telephone and CATV to get the consensus on multi-utility tower/pole. > > Maybe it will be me, but I currently don't have time to spend on it. > > > I do not mind if you retag the "real" power facilities but think it is >> enough to simply add your tags and leave the rest as utility=* does not >> interfere with power=* . >> > > At first sight yes, but each case is an example for new contributors and > what will they choose if both tags are on the object ? > There are no compatibility issues regarding < 1000 objects. > > It won't be the same when 10000k of them would have been added. > > My point is most of power=* values have been adopted and everyone get the > occasion to give its opinion where utility=* doesn't. > > >> >> Please always try to get in contact with the original editor. >> >> We had a discussion about how to tag telephone cable some month ago, do >> you remember ?
