Talk:Tag:usage=main
Latest comment: 7 months ago by DavideZH in topic Services, routers, renderings using this tag?
Combination with service=*
Is there any reason that this tag shouldn't be combined with service=siding or service=crossover? About 1% of ways with usage=main currently are combined with service= according to taginfo: https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/?key=usage&value=main#combinations which is not a large amount, especially compared to usage=branch or other values of usage=* however. --Jeisenbe (talk) 19:35, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
Services, routers, renderings using this tag?
Are there any map renderings or routing applications or other database applications which make use of this tag? It doesn't seem to be used by any of the renderers on openstreetmap.org at the moment. Openrailwaymap.org perhaps? --Jeisenbe (talk) 19:35, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
- https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/?key=usage&value=main#projects lists "SomeoneElse-style rural pedestran rendering" Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 19:51, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
- I also found out that OpenRailwayMap.org renders some types of usage=* differently. --Jeisenbe (talk) 06:27, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
- It is my understanding that ORM uses this tag to reduce the number of lines to render at low zoom levels. --DavideZH (talk) 16:00, 17 September 2025 (UTC)
