And a Hospital, thats one with an Emergency Yeap, exactly. That's why I was suggesting only four classes of services and only their presence or not. That way you can check them with an Overpass query. If it's all too hard, then the obvious solution is to just make the definition of a village a settlement with a population greater than 200 and less than 1000. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

FWIW, I find this discussion interesting and excellent. Please keep up the good dialog, which I characterize here as “good work!" ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

Many, many "towns" have a community hall (or even a Mechanic's Institute) but very many of them have fallen into such disrepair its unsafe to go in. And a Hospital, thats one with an Emergency Department or just a couple of beds and and a pair of overworked nurses ? How long since that Store was open ? A mechanic ? Well, the guy at the servo can help you change a tyre (but only if you have a real spare tyre, what are you doing out here with a temporary one anyway ?). My point is there are varying degrees of all these things, I am unsure too many mappers are willing or able to obtain the necessary detail.

I don't think the facilities are all worth the same 'points'. But they should all add to the score. A hospital should be 'worth' more than a store... ??? I'd start with a sore of 10 and go up from there? Community hall, Police, Fire say 10 each Store, fuel, mechanic say 20 each Nurse medical facility, RFDS clinic say 30 Doctors say 40 Hospital say 100 Ambos tend to be 'attached' to hospitals/nurse medical centers so I'd not add them.
