Bonjour Dega, En effet toutes les clairières devraient être taguées en consequence par un polygone. Un tag approprié pour cela pourrait être meadow ou scrub. Quand à la présence ou non d'un sentier... difficile à dire par la vue satelite: il faut vraiment un reperage terrain par des

Hello Dega / all, With regard to a path that cuts through a forest, the initial thought might be to map the path as dirt or something similar. However, this would not be efficient nor required. A line that denotes a path is, in itself, technically a type of land tag as the any such pathway must

Hello, Yes indeed some European countries are going further into smaller details. And it's legit. However, in the Canadian context, it seems that adjust fix massive CanVec data imports has higher priority than touching up every single landuse parcel It's not only about woodlands water, but

Bonjour Bruno Je suis d'accord avec la logique de Frank : redécouper les polygones de CanVec selon les lignes de frontiéres naturelles (rivières, lacs...) et artificielles (routes, lignes électriques, lignes coupe-feu...etc..). J'ai regardé tes exemples. C'est un compromis intéressant. La zone

Plusieurs (et j'en suis) ont exprimé leur désir d'avoir une meilleure couverture de forêt sur la carte OSM. Ces zones de forêt sont venues avec les importations CanVec mais ne progressent plus depuis un certain temps. Le présent article propose une façon de réaliser la forêt sans utiliser les abus

Hi Dega, Sorry, you can't just get away with not creating holes for lakes, clearings, etc. What if you get an extract of OSM, and you're only interested in the forests, because you want to calculate the percentage of forest coverage. You don't get information about lakes, heath and other

Salut Frank, long time no see ... What if you get an extract of OSM, and you're only interested in the forests, because you want to calculate the percentage of forest coverage. You don't get information about lakes, heath and other land uses when you don't cut out holes from multipolygons.
