Hi all,
The vote vote session for the location transition proposal is now open.
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Location_transitions
As described, location:transition=yes may enable mappers to indicate
the location of a feature is changing without using fixme or
approximative ways (when guessing where a feature goes underground).
It would be great you spend a little time to write a feedback at the
bottom of the page.
Having read that page I don't really understand what the motivation for it is.
Maybe add a bit more information explaining how this new tag will provide
information that isn't automatically apparent from other tags already present?
For example, if a road
goes into a tunnel the bit not in a tunnel has no "tunnel" tag and the bit in the tunnel
does; in that situation what extra information does a "location transition" provide?
It appears to me a bit like noexit=yes on a road, i.e. when the visible part
of the pipeline ends the tag would indicate that the pipe indeed goes
underground,
and the osm-way does not end just because the mapper got tired or the hires
aerial
turned lowres.
