highway=milestone should show pk= value

[Zibik]

​highway=milestone should show ​pk= value instead ref= value.
Icon for this would be nice also.

We should add *way=milestone to the internal preset but this ticket is primary about rendering (e.g. internal mappaint) and preferring pk=* instead of ref=*.

The tag is strange so.

The major use is pk=* but the correct English term would be kp=*. On the ​wiki page for milestone it is also mentioned that a unit is mandatory which contradicts all other number values which have a default unit. Probably we should clear these issues first on tagging@….

We have already about 10k nodes with highway=milestone + distance=*.

The discussion still takes place on the proposal's ​talk page.

Even talking about simply using milestone=*way to avoid collision with other *way=*.

Yes, taginfo lists more highway=milestone + distance=* than pk=*. No direct numbers for the other *=milestone so far but they are not that many.

So, should we add now highway=milestone + distance=* to preset and mappaint style, or are there still outstanding issues with this tagging?

The wiki pages were changed and the numbers lead to distance=*.

In 8725/josm:

fix #8717 - add highway=milestone and railway=milestone to preset and mappaint style; add numerical validator tests and fix for pk/kp => distance; prefer distance before ref as text in MapView; typo

[Klumbumbus]

In 8726/josm:

see #8717 - fix mappaint.nameOrder
