don't even use the exit_to or destination tags and put everything in the

Before we embark on adding exit information (as<br>> mentioned in my earlier note) I want to make sure that exit_to is<br>> still the preferred way of exit information tagging for the US.<br>> <br>> Personally I dislike exit_to for its limitations (how to tag<br>> lane-specific destination information?) and poor documentation, but it<br>> is much easier to tag and BY FAR the more popular way to tag this type<br>> of information. But given the previous lengthy discussion threads, I<br>> didn't want to just make the call.<br>> <br>> I don't want to rehash points already made in previous threads, most<br>> of which are summarized here:<br>> http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Key:exit_to but I am open to<br>> new insights!<br>> <br>> --<br>> Martijn van Exel<br>> OSM data specialist<br>> Telenav<br>> http://www.osm.org/user/mvexel<br>> http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Mvexel<br>> http://hdyc.neis-one.org/?mvexel<br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> Talk-us mailing list<br>> Talk-us@openstreetmap.org<br>> https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us<br></div> </div></body>
