- Added Pier P gate numbers
- Added Pier Q gate numbers
- Added Pier K/L gate numbers
I have discussed those changesets in Part 1 and Part 2. Now it’s time to complete this map.
I recently added the final gates in klia2, which is located at Pier J (Domestic). That’s the main message, however someone have added some lengths of lines connected to the taxiway. Unfortunately, these are not visible in the regular OpenStreetMap layer.
Apparently, they are the aeroway:parking_position paths. These paths are self-explanatory, which are the ones followed by an aircraft to safely deliver passengers to the parking spot (and terminal gates). Bing satellite imagery provides a clear view of these lines to be added.
That’s the motivation to complete the Pier K/L parking position lines in Changesets 63867934 and 63868266. Actually, there are some paths that are still unmapped, specifically in the gates K20, L20 and L22. aeroway:parking_position lines will be added in other piers (and hopefully Terminal 1) soon, to make the entire KLIA to be better mapped for the public.
