Can we agree that a Stop in OSM is the same as a Stop Point and is therefore correctly positioned beside the track. What OSM is proposing to call a Halt is on the track and is the same as a Stopping Point. The unified Stop Area proposal is a great one to settle this one for good for all public transport modes. I do hope we can drop that as a 'moot point' soon! http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/unified_stoparea Regards, Peter >> -- >> Regards, >> Thomas Wood >> (Edgemaster) > > Cheers > > Andy > > > _______________________________________________ > Talk-transit mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-transit _______________________________________________ Talk-transit mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-transit
