Re: [talk-au] Building outlines: Include covered open areas?
Hi All, IMHO, the first thing you have to think of is: "Is it necessary on a street map?" Different people will have different requirements of a map. Mine are things like public toilets, laundromats, petrol stations, motels, hotels etc (accomodation) food (shopping centres and take aways etc) post offices, etc. Red light cameras. Others might like picnic grounds, bus stops etc. But is the outline of a pergola necessary? Or is the outline of a petrol station necessary. Petrol station yes, outline ... no ... While I think of it, house numbers in streets should have a lot more priority than it has.

The main talk (or maybe tagging) list had long discussions very recently about this under ¨what is a tunnel?¨. I don´t remember the conclusions. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
[talk-au] Building outlines: Include covered open areas?
Since the new NearMap imagery has been available to us, I have been adding a few building outlines here and there, but a scenario I come across often is whether I should include things such as pergolas, open air covered areas, carports, the shelters which covers the fuel pumps at servos and etc. Part of me says to mark them as a building, because it's a structure on the landscape and thus should not be excluded, but part of me says not to mark them, because they are technically not 'buildings'. What are our thoughts on this matter and who does what? Maybe they should be tagged as something else? ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
