Re: [Talk-in] District Data
There were import errors in about 25 districts (out of ~600).

Re: [Talk-in] District Data
I was just checking the district data for tamil nadu and was trying to do some cleanup near the complicated pondicherry boundary and i noticed that the coastal districts of nagapattinam, ramanathapuram and thoothukudi were missing. i have a hunch that this has something to do with them being some kind of a compund shape. Even Kapurthala district which is made up of two parts is not there.

That would presumably put this information into the mapnik polygon table, but the rendering rules for admin boundaries seem to only be defined for ways. Osmarender presumably just ignores that and renders it anyway. To indicate the area, they can be put together again as multipolygon Here are some examples of tagging of one of the German admin_level=4 boundaries: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/29411785 http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/62611 Regarding the admin_level question, I would think admin_level=4 for districts wouldn't be consistent with most other uses of admin_level=4 I know, as those tend to correspond to states (and treated as such by the renderers) The admin classification as far as I know was set up to be level=2 : country, level=4: state, level=6: sub state (district?), level=8: ... The main categories tend to jump in 2s to give some room for categories that don't exist everywhere in the world, but still allow a more or less consistent tagging through out the world. > > http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=30.8082&lon=76.4167&zoom=14&layers=B000FTF > ___ Talk-in mailing list Talk-in@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-in
