Hi,

Midleton is a useful example of the different types of housing development. I
added most of the landuse in the town. Around the centre of the town there are
lots of mixed use streets, that aren't readily decipherable from the Bing

Agreed, it is more about the general feel of an area than the literal presence
or absence of particular features.

I've mapped landuse=residential out in the country side though not to a
huge extent but as far as I can tell there's no reason not to (open to
correction). What I mean is, if it's a residential property and would get

Hi Colm,
Totally agree.
Often there are several housing estates together that have the same
name ("Blah Close", "Blah Wood", etc), and that's a good example of
needing a "Blah" landuse=residential area.
Conversely, I've seen rough landuse=residental
Landuse is a bit tricky in OSM because it has a large part of
subjectivity. The residential/retail/commercial/industrial split is a
common issue. How wide does a street need to be before we stop
including it in the landuse ? How all-encompassing should
landuse=farmland be ? Should we have lots of s
Hi Colm,
I've seen what you are referring to.
All I can say is what I normally do and that is to leave an area alone
until I've had a chance to survey it.
Once I gather the street and housing estate and apartment block names, I'll
refine the landuse=res by enclosing each in their own boundary w
Hi,
Caution! Moan ahead! :)
There has been talk of adopting a project like mapping all schools. I do think
it is worthy.
Could I suggest an alternative in landuse, in particular landuse=residential?
We map lots of roads, forests and farmland, but not so mush residential usage.
As it stands, ther
