[OSM-talk] Lighthouses

[Steven te Brinke]

Hello,

It's a good idea to tag buoys, but there are very many types. So you 
should think carefully about what you want and what you don't want to 
tag. I've extracted a list of types from the Dutch Notices to Mariners: 
http://squall.student.utwente.nl/betonning/types.xml. It shows quite 
some possible types. Please don't copy the images from this page, as I 
don't know if these have any copyright.
Besides that, IMO starboard and port are not a good way to specify the 
type of a buoy. That is because in the Netherlands buoys are placed in 
the downstream direction, with green at the port side. However, at sea 
they are placed towards land, with green at the starboard side. So in 
fact you don't see the difference, only the definition is different. 
That's why starboard and port are not well defined.

Steven
