[Talk-us] Fwd: Re: [OHM] Fwd: moving data from OSM to OHM - what should the markers be?

[Richard Welty]

[this is a lightly revised version of something i sent over to the
OHM mailing list last night]

i didn't really get any input here, but i have made some progress in
deciding what to do about the issue with visible remnants of old
race tracks. i think that what i'm doing is consistent with the norms
for tagging in both OSM and OHM.

in OSM, i tag at least the basic, visible course as highway=track,
with start_date and end_date when known (which is usually the
case for US and Canada tracks - i have references which are pretty
comprehensive.) additionally, i set disused:highway=raceway which
the renderer for www.openstreetmap.org ignores. anyone looking
at it in JOSM or Potlatch should be able to figure out what is going
on and hopefully either ignore it or improve it.

in OHM, i give it the full treatment as if it were a current race
track, with of course start_date and end_date.

the three drag strips i provided as examples (Bee Line, Motion and
Motor City) are now tagged in this manner.
