<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Hi<br><br>In the UK we tend not to have "trailheads". We do however have a variety of guideposts. <br><br>The following link provides an example which may be of help in this discussion:<br><br>http://www.peakandnorthern.org.uk/signposts/about-our-signposts.htm<br><br>This is tagged with the following:<br><br>information=guidepost<br>operator=Peak & Northern Footpaths Society<br>ref=1234<br>source=survey;gps<br>tourism=information<br><br>These would generally be mapped as a separate node.<br><br>Where the start of a footpath is identified but the route not mapped it has been common practice to mark the start of the way and put in a fixme. This is certainly very helpful when seeking to find footpaths that need mapping.<br><br>Regards<br><br>Dudley<br><br><div>> Date: Fri, 9 Aug 2013 19:47:37 +0200<br>> From: pieren3@gmail.com<br>> To: tagging@openstreetmap.org<br>> Subject: Re: [Tagging] Hiking tracks as POIs in Brazil<br>> <br>> On Fri, Aug 9, 2013 at 1:21 PM, Greg Troxel <gdt@ir.bbn.com> wrote:<br>> <br>> > I also think that a trailhead tag is needed.<br>> -1<br>> <br>> > I don't believe that implicitly determining trailheads will work.<br>> Why not ?
