[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - trailblazed=poles;cairns

[Jaromír Mikeš]

Hello Warin,

Yes, there exists tag Tag:man made=cairn
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:man_made%3Dcairn> which I think
couldn't substitute proposed trailbazed=cairns in some situations.

man_made=cairn I would prefer to use where one or smaller number of
significant cairns appears. Some historical cairns for example.

But in places where cairns improve trail visibility and they are there
usually in bigger numbers I would prefer trailblazed=cairns as their number
can change the same as their exact position.

So tagging them one by one would be very difficult task


best
