[Tagging] Map Features Wiki - SchemaTroll 2.01 update

[Sam Vekemans]

Cool thanks,
I havent seen userstyles.org i'll check it out :)


The idea is to include the styles used from mapnik and josm, and
potlatch and just list it all, as a kind of 'encyclopedia for map
features'...


So this goes beyond the scope of OSM Map Features wiki, since it
describes what the map features actually mean in english (using
synomyms and picturial explainations), and does not explain how to map
it on OSM, as that's osm's wiki department.


I would do a ccs file if i knew what that was. so instead it's a
spreadsheet that works with the rules.txt file and the makemap garmin
features.



cheers,
sam
