you get to decide since you are the only person tagging - put up a wiki page and keep describing what you are doing and why. When more people join in, the debate will be on and a method will appear out of the madness. Here is some of the discussion we are having in India: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tagging_Roads_in_India there is no consensus so far, so each person tags his area according to his scheme - no open warfare so far too. The important thing is to tag - even if 'incorrectly' - it can always be changed later. As for roads, you could tag them in order of importance - forget 'motorway', use primary, secondary and tertiary, and if there is an important enough road, you could have one trunk road too. There is also a tag called 'hamlet' which is smaller than a village. -- regards kg http://lawgon.livejournal.com _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies
