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.

Subject: [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?
