Fair points. I agree in principle to keeping some landside features as suggested. Ideally this would need someone with a bit more knowledge of the airport than me - unfortunately I'm not likely to go there again in the near future.

Respectfully, do we map routes in buildings now?

No other map system I know does and I'm not sure what useful purpose this serves. If I were to attempt to follow these "footpaths" as shown on the main map I'd get very lost, not to mention needing a ticket or airside pass. Many of them bear only a passing resemblance to what's going on in the terminal buildings. We don't tag paths through schools or houses, after all.

May I suggest as an alternative Simple indoor tagging: osm.wiki/Simple_Indoor_Tagging

If they are to be kept, I will not argue further if there is a consensus, but could they at least attempt to be more accurate?

Best,

No idea what happened there I'm afraid; feel free to undo - I would if I knew how!

Hi Matt,
I seem to recall that this was because the named sections of roads which are bridges were in general too small to render on the Standard OSM, even at the highest available zoom. Not sure if there's a better way of representing them.

Hi Bernard, yes, my mistake. Much appreciated, cheers.

Hi Matt, Always careful me. It may be Piries on the ground, but sadly signwriters have been known to be wrong too. In this case it is named after local headmaster and landowner William Pirie (him with the donkey cart), and therefore merits a possessive apostrophe. There was only one of him, so there is no case for a plural. It is, and always was Pirie's.
