I don't know, I'm just saying what I might do having looked at the wiki. In reality I probably wouldn't map it at all, personally. However, there are many pubs near me that are closed down but are useful landmarks. For now I've used amenity=pub, disused=yes, because it seemed like the least worst option. Related in my mind is access=private. There are quite a few service roads with private access, and that combination of tags (highway=service, access=private) is rendered as a hatched road. I assume routing software can make use of this too. cheers, LT _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
