Use mkgmap to make your own Garmin maps. Edit the mkgmap
points file<br>
and add an entry for radio telescope. Eg:<br>
<br>
man_made=radio_telescope [0x6411 resolution 21]<br>

Humm .. <br>
Point on "Mapping
for the renderer" is good. Accepted :)<br>
<br>
------------
<br>
sparrowhawk<br>
I do like key = tower .. as they are on towers ..
they have a different function, but still tower - as in visible
from
the horizon. <br>
The proposed tag man_made, radio telescope .. well
man_made is also vague .. sits better with optical telescopes? Not
too fussed. <br>
<br>
The Parks radio telescope is an interesting one
.. tagged tower, communication .. yes it does get used that way
(ref
film "The Dish" as seen on free to air TV) but it was and
is used as a radio telescope .. dual function. <br>
<br>
Arr .. I'm
forgetting the film 'Contact' with that radio telescope that sits
in
a recess in a mountain.. so man made then ? <br>
<br>
OK? This is
probably better discussed this elsewhere?!
<br>
<br>
------------------<br>
<br>
The renderer is probably waiting on
the proposal being finalised? <br>
As for making my own maps ..been
doing that since .. well .. before OSM got going. Tired of it,
finding my 'mates' want my maps.. but as I use things for personal
use without too much worry about copyright permissions (if it is
on
the web .. well I should be able to use it for my own use), I am
reluctant to give them away for fear they will be distributed...
leading to problems. <br>
<br>
So <br>
<br>
Step 1<br>
Getting
feature/tags accepted ... ? Any hints on this for a beginner? <br>
I'm
looking at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features#Proposal_list">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features#Proposal_list</a><br>
<br>
Ok
..
<br>
found<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Proposed_features/amenity%3Dastronomical_observatory">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Proposed_features/amenity%3Dastronomical_observatory</a>
-
vote proposed in 2009 on the wiki .. <br>
as well as the page
on radio telescope
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Observatory">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Observatory</a>
that has at least some discussion .. but nothing on voting<br>
<br>
<br>
Their
not thinking outside their expertise - astronomical_observatory -
appears to be optical only, Observatory - Bird, Wildlife,
Meteorological (weather), etc. considered in '</font><font
face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"><font face="Times New Roman,
Times, serif">Observatory'</font> discussion . .. I
do like <br>
<br>
observatory:type=espionage .. who is going to place that on any
map? :P <br>
<br>
Conclusion so far ; Naming a tag is not easy .. <br>
<br>
Step 2 <br>
Renderer.. <br>
<br>
What
sort of time frame would be expected for setps 1&2 ?
:)<br>
<br>
--------------------<br>
<br>
Surprised how quickly you guys
responded to this .. probably reflecting the fundamental error I
made
.. <br>
<br>
At least I now have a better understanding of what is
going on..<br>
<br>
Happy New Year. </font>

PS David .. yep I'm getting the idea of time scale. When you do yer
own then things can get changed quickly. Had<font face="Times New

</style> at work like that .. committees of one work very quickly if
not well all the time. <br>
<br>
At the moment I'm inclinde to have the tag tower to reflect that
these are on towers .. as well as the tag radio telescope.. still
thinking on that .. and I'll take my time on it too. <br>
