[Talk-GB] Definitive Ways - tagging? (was Re: Talk-GB Digest, Vol 44, Issue 19)

[Richard Mann]

If you've got reasonable non-copyright evidence that there's a PROW
across the field, use designation=public_footpath. If there's a path
that people seem to use, use the highway=path tag (or some other
highway tag if you prefer), and maybe a surface tag. You can have a
OSM way with just a designation tag; it doesn't have to have a highway
tag. Mapnik won't render it, but someone else might want the info; may
as well record it while you're there.
