<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>I thought temporary information like closures of paths and roads were good to put on the map, if nothing else to allow routing to avoid them.<BR> <BR>The water I agree is likely to be a bit inaccurate and isn't going to help with the routing, but like a road, those areas will be wet for quite some time (weeks to months), so as long as the person doing it keeps it relatively up to date, I guess there is no real problem. The real problem comes when its not maintained.<br> <BR><div>> Date: Thu, 6 Feb 2014 00:24:31 +0000<br>> From: davefox@madasafish.com<br>> To: talk-GB@openstreetmap.org<br>> Subject: [Talk-GB] Somerset Levels Flooding<br>> <br>> Hi<br>> <br>> About a week ago user Jestr88 added large areas tagged natural=water; <br>> name=flooding. to indicate the flooded areas on the Somerset levels.<br>> <br>> http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/258412163<br>> <br>> Apart from the inaccuracy of these (water levels vary hourly) I thought <br>> temporary information was frowned upon.
