[OSM-talk] power=line without power=tower?

[80n]

Nick
When I have a power line that I know the bearing of, but cannot yet exactly
pinpoint the towers, I will anchor the vector using a couple of nodes that
are not tagged with power=tower.

I often add a note tag to remind myself of what is known.

When I later get a better fix on the towers I then relocate the nodes and
tag them appropriately.

I think that what you are proposing to do is perfectly acceptable.
