Maybe following the same scheme as for highways:
waterway=navigable_channel (for way along the middle of the channel) area:waterway=navigable_channel (for area bound by buoys, with an intersecting node at both ends between the area and the middle line way) From: [email protected] <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, 1 July 2018 11:25 To: 'Tag discussion, strategy and related tools' <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Tagging] nautical channels I think it’s slightly different. For canoe routes, there is generally no infrastructure along the route. While navigable channels are marked with buoys, which makes them closer to a “highway” on land than a route. So I think it’s something that belongs in the waterway namespace. If navigable channel is the correct nautical term, then the obvious would be waterway=navigable_channel The real question becomes: tagging as a way in the middle of the channel? Tagging as an area (by mapping the buoys as seamarks, then connecting them to form an area)? Both? Either?
