For well-known partially unmarked shipping routes, I think there would be no problem lifting the requirement of navigation marks. But I'm not sure if this applies to canoe routes, which are usually not marked. I'm neither a sailor nor a native English speaker, so I think I'd better leave this decision to those experienced in marine navigation. -- Fernando Trebien _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
