[OSM-talk] Rendering of tracktype

[Frederik Ramm]

Hi,

> http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Tag:highway=track and the map 
> features mentioned track is only for unpaved/unsealed roads. To me it

Map Features is not a page that documents what has been voted upon; Map 
Features is a page that documents what is used.

If something enters Map Features through a vote, and is subsequently 
used in a different way, it is perfectly ok to change Map Features to 
reflect that, without initiating a voting process.

Since the combination highway=track/tracktype=grade1 is widely used, and 
tracktype=grade1 is described as "paved or heavily compacted hardcore", 
there obviously *are* tracks with paved surface, so changing Map 
Features to reflect that is perfectly ok; necessary, even.

Bye
Frederik
