While editing this evening I scrolled through my community going down the full length of the river that runs through town. I was adding any boat ramps and parking areas that were not already on the map. I found a few boat ramps which are slipways in OSM to be presented differently. I found one that was a line that made a box. I found some that were points. one that was a point along a line, and then some that were just straight lines. I found it interesting to see how some parking lots were areas while others were just points. I would assume that there is no real protocol for how to properly mark a slipway of parking lot. I just wanted to make not of this finding and share it if thats what happens to these diary entries. I am still learning the program and wanted to try this feature out. more for myself to remember that there are many ways to skin a cat.
next project may be marking the points along the Colorado river where there are campgrounds.
