Re: [Talk-us] Differences with USA admin_level tagging

Frederik's description of colored polygons made me think of the French OSM instance, which can display admin level, ie http://layers.openstreetmap.fr/?zoom=5=39.9597=-78.77311=0B000FFFTFF Regarding Native American reservations, while there "is no consensus" there are a couple

Kerry, thank you for that/those. I especially like your characterizations of "fun" and "purposefully!" Yet, paraphrasing both Kevin Kenny and Winston Churchill: Let us Carry On and Do the Best We Can! I seldom let the difficulty of a challenge, even at the cost of mistakes from which i can

Re: [Talk-us] Differences with USA admin_level tagging

If all of you want to have some fun with jurisdictional boundaries, take a look at College Corner, OH/IN. It is a village purposefully straddling the OH/IN state lines with the main street being the state line. It has two zip codes, is in three counties (two in OH, one in IN) and school

I'm glad Adam brings up the topic of Gores, as I'm also unclear on how such "holes" get "punched into" larger (multi)polygons via tagging. For example, I am "sort-of-sure" (but not positive) that in Vermont, a "gore" (or grant, location, purchase, surplus, strip...usually the result of

Kevin Kenny writes: 'boundary=administrative' is a surprisingly messy thing at all levels of government. Let's do the best we can. And I am so glad that somebody (else) did! (Write this out loud). Clearly, admin_level generates passion among everybody who has something to say about it.

Re: [Talk-us] Differences with USA admin_level tagging

On the "Gores" point: In Vermont, while these do not have any administrative infrastructure and are managed by the State, they *are* surveyed and named places with defined borders (shared with their surrounding Towns). As such it likely makes sense to preserve them as multipolygons each with their
