- teekert 7y agoNice, maybe a link to a location where the mines are? I think this is great initiative that makes the world safer. Edit: I'm now on some NSA list, aren't I? Hi guys! Just finished Snowden's book, it was great!

- teekert 7y agoVery cool, thanx.
- Freak_NL 7y agoYou might want to consider proposing a sub-tag for military=danger_area specifically for mines. Eventually maps can choose to add rendering like a mine icon in addition to the danger area markings. I would suggest adopting hazard=minefield (in addition to the other tags you use) for use on paths/roads/routable objects going over or skirting the minefields as well. The hazard-tag is a proposal, but has been used in the field a good number of times (coincidentally, a few times in Serbia).
- nathancahill 7y agoYes, new areas added by this system will have hazard=minefield.
- 74ls00 7y agoI’d certainly be interested in information about how it works - I’m sure many others would be interested in reading too
