let me ask a simplifying (for me) question. i want to encourage a group of motorcycling friends to help update OSM so that it accurately reflects road surface, for roads that are currently undifferentiated in that regard. the single most important thing that needs to be captured is whether the road is paved or not: this information is missing (or very incomplete) in every commercial US map that i've seen.
is it ever wrong to simply add "surface=unpaved"? and while it might be also correct to switch to "highway=track", that's an orthogonal change, right? paul p.s. i'll also be asking my friends to update for road existence -- many roads from the Tiger set no longer exist in any form, yet still exist in all the commercial (google, etc) data. =--------------------- paul fox, p...@foxharp.boston.ma.us (arlington, ma, where it's 59.0 degrees) _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
