JOSM supports exit_to. JOSM doesn't support destination.<br>
<br>
Following the text by Martin I updated<br>
<a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dmotorway_junction#Destinations" target="_blank">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/<u></u>wiki/Tag:highway%3Dmotorway_<u></u>junction#Destinations</a>.<br>
I indeed think it's a good idear to be clear in the communication of any<br>
(to be) deprecated tag.<br>
<br>
Most exit_to's seem to be used in the US. I checked upon a<br>
motorway_junction in the US (New York) where I noticed that the name=*<br>
of the motorway_junction had been replaced by exit_to=* with the same<br>
value. The US does not seem to use the name=* on the motorway_junction.<br>
Two questions on that:<br>
<br>
1. does the tag exit_to=* on a motorway_junction in your opinion have<br>
the same meaning as the tag name=* on that motorway_junction?<br>
2. if your answer to the first question is no, than what is the difference?<br>

exit_to is what's on the sign. name is a name given to the interchange, which doesn't usually exist in the U.S. A few examples where it does exist (mainly on toll roads):<br>

I know there was a discussion somewhere about replacing name with exit_to, but I don't remember where. Thus the wheel is being reinvented for no reason.<br>
