to avoid the egg and chicken problem, I think it's best to work on both ends.
1) work on a taginfo proposal to distinguish between a large airport and a small one. it can be based on the proposal I mentioned earlier. or based on some of the existing tags your are talking about. it can also go through an intermediate phase that would use aeroway=aerodrome while adding info in secondary tags to prepare the change. this usually use the wiki like the link I posted and/or is generally discussed on the mailing tagging (but don't talk about rendering, they are allergic, you have to focus on tags). 2) work on a rendering request: a free-to-use icon, a zoom from which it should be displayed and criteria. the criteria could initially include a list of the different existing cases like : aeroway=airstrip aerodrome=airstrip aerodrome=private OR club OR airstrip OR regional OR airsport aerodrome:type=private OR club OR airstrip OR regional OR airsport when ready, it should be put on github Regards, Marc Le 19. 01. 18 à 18:52, Karel Adams a écrit : > Marc, thanks for the reply.
