In the next style release, you can add the information on the intermittent waterways stream?

Yes, of course, even as I OSMapper, I think it is useful in many occasions for hiking, distinguish this graphic differentiation (already visible on OSM Mapnik)
See you soon 🙂

Hi Vancori,
it has to be contained in the maps before I can add it to a style, and if it makes sense I see no problem to add it.
But I’m not sure how useful it is. It would just say that this stream doesn’t always carry water, but not when, and not if it’s impassible if it’s filled. If I think about the areas I hiked worldwide, it was more problematic to have streams which I wanted to cross that had too much water at a supposed ford 🙂
So what would you gain from that information?
Best regards,
Tobias

From OSMapper, often I represent the presence of streams or rivers a seasonal nature, but that during the summer there are. In many parts of the Alps it is so often. Please indicate if you think that it is useful information for trekkers.
Bye

I don’t quite understand your last post, so sorry if I get you wrong.

What I wanted to express is that I’m not sure why it is useful for trekkers?

It’s no guarantee that they can get over the river/stream. The only reason I can guess is that it has a worse chance that they can find water there (in comparison to a regular river/stream).
