-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 As Pierre has noted we map what is on the ground, not what how we think it should be mapped. If there is a common area then we tag it as such, if there is not then we should not 'invent' one that is close by simply for the purpose of having one.
It is important to note, the reason I asked to have these mapped is that they _might_ be used as helipads, not that they must be. As Mark noted, the criteria for what is an acceptable landing site is something only a pilot can decide, and even then only for a specific helicopter and specific load. All we can do is tell them reasonable places to start looking, but it is for them to decide if any of the areas we marked are acceptable. I expect that they would try to review the area in imagery anyway or have someone confirm it on the ground before dispatching a helicopter there. Our data is not the final word, just something so that they have a starting place. As to the round areas, I have noticed several mappers doing this. Not sure if it is a newbie thing or what, but the area should not be mapped as round unless it is actually round. Otherwise we should be mapping the proper shape. - -AndrewBuck On 02/19/2015 08:16 AM, john whelan wrote: > So the advice back to the mapper? > > My opinion would be if its readily identifiable as landuse=common > then map it, but refrain from arbitrarily adding a circle tagged > landuse=common close to each small village perhaps? > > Personally when I'm mapping if something like this stands out then > it gets mapped but its quite rare that I spot one. > > Thanks > > Cheerio John > > On 19 February 2015 at 08:59, Pierre Béland <pierz...@yahoo.fr> > wrote: > >> Hi John, >> >> Our role is to grab information, facilitate the logistic of the >> humanitarian organizations. >> >> But we are not specialists.
