Re: [Tagging] building=digester

I don't know where the notion came from saying a greenhouse is not a building. It is not a residence but it is most certainly a building - it has doors, walls and a roof, Just because they're made of glass doesn't disqualify it from the building category. On Thu, May 19, 2016 at 3:29 PM, Martin

Re: [Tagging] Mapping pergolas/arbors

Thanks Marc, yes, shelter_type is the one I've used in the past. I was using my phone while boarding a plane and didn't have time to do a proper look-up. There have been discussions in the past about the use of the "type" key and so shelter_type would be much preferred. On Thu, May 19, 2016 at

Re: [Tagging] Suggested way to map disputed country borders

Re: [Tagging] Suggested way to map disputed country borders

As somebody who regularly has to respond to complaints from officials and others on boundary matters, I fail to see how mapping additional borders (and a lot of them, given that there are nearly no countries without disputes) is going to help. Matter of fact it is guaranteed to make things worse

Why not the established shelter_type [1], which is used over 69.000 times according to taginfo [2] [1] http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:shelter_type [2] http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/search?q=shelter_type On Thu, May 19, 2016 at 6:09 AM, David Swarthout wrote:
