Hi Mike,
What does the 50m mean at Eagles Nest Lookout? It's too low for altitude...

Comment from MikeAus
When I visited there 2 years ago, the only signpost at the turnoff had written in it "Lookout - 50m" (i.e. 50 metres).
- has this changed ? -
Comment from aharvey
I'm not sure if it's changed.
What you describe seems to indicate that the lookout is 50m from the sign, which is informative, rather than forming part of the name. The name tag should just contain the actual name, ie. "Eagles Nest Lookout".
What do you think?

Comment from MikeAus
If I need to direct someone to this lookout in an emergency, it's no good saying "Take the turnoff to Eagles Nest Lookout".
But if I say "take the turnoff Lookout 50m", they will know they are at the correct turnoff. -
Comment from aharvey
Perhaps http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relation:destination_sign would be better suited then, it allows you to capture the information about the "Lookout 50m" better. You could also put in the description tag of the lookout a note about the "Lookout - 50m" sign.
The reason I'm making such a fuss about it is because I'm pulling data out of OSM with names of lookouts and I only want the name, no other descriptive information.

The need of the Emergency Services I work with, is for OSM to enable quick, error-free navigation to an incident. If the sign says "Lookout 50m", then that's what needs to appear on the map.
