[OSM-talk] how are runways related to an airport/aerodrome

[Madhav Vodnala]

Hi Guys


In this Mapping Features documentation page, it says add only
<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:aeroway> aeroway=runway  tag to the
way to denote it
a runway
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:aeroway%3Drunway



As a result, you will see runways as the following. 

I have not yet checked it out, but it looks like the only way is to traverse
all the nodes.

 

Does anybody have an alternative solution?. I think adding new "relation"
can address
this issue.
