If you have 10 people in the same area chasing an unnamed road then a noname tag isn't going to solve the actual problem. A road in OSM that has been surveyed by a single person is tagged identically to a road that has a dozen gps tracks and has been checked by several people. The fact that a road has no name is irrelevant. A road with a name is also potentially incorrect and needs to be checked. Currently those 10 people will end up checking the same areas multiple times while some areas don't get checked at all. The problem is that there is no way to communicate the "verification level" or an object in the database. If the 10 people want to verify the data in an efficient and systematic way then they they need to organise between themselves and store information outside the database. It's a problem that needs a general solution not a single tag that works in a very specific case. -- DavidD _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
