It might be worth avoiding paved/unpaved. Usually, if you are tagging surface, you can make at least a good guess on what is it. While paved/unpaved provides some information, it is still highly desirable to expand on it later (gravel, compacted, sand, ground etc ? - big difference). > On Thu, Apr 19, 2018 at 2:48 PM, Paul Johnson <ba...@ursamundi.org > <mailto:ba...@ursamundi.org>> wrote:... -- Rihards _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
