This seems more consistent with the "tag what you see" concept. Additionally, I've seen mappers use (a very) wrong conversion factor, as surprising as that seems. Even using 1.6 instead of 1.6093 results in 88 kph = 55 mph instead of 89 kph, which could create problems when searching. -- Alan Mintz <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
