Hi all,

Besides several different spellings like

amenity=weigh_bridge (8), weightbridge (3) ,...

and other similar tags like

amenity=weigh_station (21)

...

I've found several nodes or ways tagged e.g.

highway=weigh_station (60)

highway=weighbridge (9)


man_made=weighbridge (44)

man_made=weigh_bridge (6)

man_made=weighing_scale (4)

man_made=weighting_machine (1)

and further spelling variatons.


weight_sensor=yes (1)

weight_bridge (1)


I guess most of them describe the same thing.

It would be great to have a tool which allows to contact

all mappers that used the different versions and ask

them to  check if the most often used tag is matching.

Do we have a tool like that ? If not, would it be welcomed?


Gerd
