Is there a common tag used by renderers to not display OSM objects? For instance, for trails that have not been confirmed by ground survey. asked 05 Feb '22, 12:06 cmoffroad |
There isn't a general widely-used "please don't render this" tag. If you're in control of your own maps (such as creating your own maps for a Garmin handheld) then you can decide what tags to include and what not. answered 05 Feb '22, 14:01 SomeoneElse ♦ |
Some will say you should not map anything without ground survey. I'd say that you need a really clear imagery, or street-level photos, to map trails without ground knowledge. If you really need it, you could follow the logic of Lifecycle prefixes, something like You could also use the Hope this helps. answered 05 Feb '22, 15:05 H_mlet Yes, this is exactly the reason. In Thailand, most of the roads and trails have been added via imagery survey first, and later confirmed with a ground survey. Some were added without imagery. Only recently, based on public GPS traces, we have added a way to identify those confirmed by GPS (source=GPS). But only custom plugins for Garmin and OsmAnd (one I built for example) can handle this distinction.

My only concern is basic renderers users may complain some paths may not exist or are wrong. But there is not much else I can do here besides convincing them to use my plugin or a Garmin one :)

Or convince them to contribute (using Notes or GPS tracks at least). I still don't understand why you would want to "hide" object from the database. If they are wrong, you delete them, if not, they are better than nothing. And users should never fully trust a collaborative map (or any map I guess), and should be ready to participate in correcting it.

By hiding them you would probably hide more correct ones than wrong ones. Wouldn't hat be worse?
