Hi all,
OSM could really use more barrier=border_control nodes mapped in Europe
both western and eastern. Some countries are pretty good, but some are
really missing most if not all of their border crossing points mapped.
I am not sure this is something that is really good for armchair mappers
like myself so I was really hoping we all might map a few we have
personal experience with or knowledge of and see if we can't make a dent
in the missing points.
Here is a map of how the border_control nodes looked a few days ago in OSM:
http://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/map/europe-border-control-points-osm-data_54784#6/48.480/21.160
How to map these points (and it is only applicable to single nodes) is here:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:barrier%3Dborder_control
I don't think it matters if the barrier is blocking the crossing or not
as long as there is a border control point there.
Please feel free to forward this to the appropriate country specific
email lists if you think that would help us get a more complete map of
these points.
Cheers,
Blake (bgirardot)
