Huh-h gh.

Most probably; I should really start reading tooltips.

@skippern Unpaved roads? I'm proud to say that we have none of those in the UK.

Just one question: what's a snowshoe? :P

I really do hope charging points are rendered on Mapnik; a node with what type of car/plug will work would help so much. I've heard some Westminster sockets only work with certain cars. Maybe one could build a simple OSM-based charger finder unit into new electrics. Maybe that would help with the sale of such things. Truth be told, tag as much as you think would be used; only the standard use of tags (all of one thing has the same name, otherwise using such information would be painful as you'd have to parse all varients) is what is needed.

I've been tracing a couple of hedges. Stop; stop. I know I'm out of control.

bicycle_parking=* might be better, actually: like highway=crossing, then crossing=* and there must be others. That probably would work better.

fixme=Survey required; just check if this is a castle

The JOSM way works really well; not sure how to extract the co-ordinates without having to write them down from the Selection panel. The XML way (I guess I would use the Export menu on the site) seems a bit tedious; I'm not a wizard with AppleScript or elsewhat, so I wouldn't know how to script the co-ords out of that file either.

So for the stations (what the council-erected fingerposts call them), would ..let's say railway=station (as is used with railway=light_rail etc.) or railway=tram_stop (as is used with tram lines) be wholly inappropriate?

It's probably only a few, but how do you know that some of these 'almost-junctions' are not actually two separate nodes and which don't form a junction? It's not really worth mentioning, but if someone used routing software, it's better to not route them somewhere where a mapping error has been made -- albeit a slight one and probably accidental.

How about my village? I can surely get someone to take me over my village to get shots; we've even got a nice aerodrome to take off and land. They might even have one in the hangar. This all sounds very expensive; I think I'll just get a higher-res GPS. Getting a bit sick of 19 m accuracy, to be honest.

Guess we'll have to wait for another company to be nice and licence their photos appropriately.

I don't think we should name/number them, David; I think they should just appear as a blue line as on the Cambridge cycle map (of which I have a copy Blu-tack to my hallway). I think a few people should go out and cycle between two of the destinations (I know the Kings Hedges mark is at a Tesco Express; perfect for a cheap sandwich) and follow the signs from one end of the city to another. The lcn will undoubtedly double over some stretches of road/cycleway (Gresham Road, Hobson Street, etc.). Just set a device to record, and cycle around: but remember to *only follow the signs*; in Cambridge, it's so easy to make slight deviations.

OpenCycleMap? Of course I have. I'll mark the route out from the multitude of 'primary' route signs dotted about Cambridge. I'm absolutely certain of the routes of some of the network, so I'll leave the rest until I've gone and surveyed.

Cambridge's route and signage are more or less flawless. I'll mark in the local routes that I 100% know the route of, and I'll have to set a GPX off and follow the signs for each of the others. Cambridge's map is available from most bike shops in the city, the Council and also http://www.camcycle.org.uk/resources/map/

@davespod The trouble with elevation and height and that lot of data is that it's terribly inaccurate from most devices.

Don't get me started on JOSM. No plugin works, whatsoever; my Mac refuses to let it use plugins. I wouldn't mind having the wmsplugin (correct; yeah?) but I can't. As for inconsistency, I thought we had a tag proposal scheme in place for new tags; I wonder why we don't have a problem with things like plurals, as is a problem in other folksonomy projects.

@davespod: indeed so.

To be honest, I got rid of that tag because I didn't know what to do with 'indoor hall'. Yeah; I'm a bit weird like that. I know it's the wrong attitude, but if something can't be corrected it shouldn't be there. (general rule across life)
