Hi all, The Telenav mapping team noticed quite a few destination:street tags on (mostly) motorway_link off-ramps in Canada. This is an undocumented sub-tag of the destination tag so I am curious how it is being used and if there is some sort of consensus that is documented somewhere else than the OSM wiki.
An Overpass query surfaced 1883 cases, http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/ln2 Looking at a random one, http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/34154734 <http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/34154734> / http://openstreetcam.org/details/10767/4194 <http://openstreetcam.org/details/10767/4194> — I think in the US we would just map this as destination=Carman Road;Iriquois and destination:ref=1 So my question is whether this is some relic of a past practice, or is this actively used and encouraged mapping practice and if so, where should it be documented? (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Destination_details <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Destination_details> seems to be a good candidate.) We’re happy to help improve these tags based on OSC / Mapillary data but I wanted to make sure first that this is the way you all want to go. Happy mapping, Martijn van Exel
