Hi,I followed the discussion about tagging a railway track or more. From a
geografersvieuw its simple, the closer youll go the more youll see. The program
hides all the extra info fi a 16 lanes highway or several railtracks aside. At
first I want to see a track or road. After closing in Im interested in the
complete pic.

IMHO is a grass covered area, temporarily, scrubbs and trees are covering it
without care in an short period of time, whos tagging it again ? Why not nature
as tag in nature reserve area 's. Just to avoid the immage Ive seen, with a
large forest area and a view trees besides it. Tagged as beiing a group or a
forest. You dont have to worry about the actually grow of the different plants
if you use nature and forget if its 1,00 (grass), 3,00 (scrubbs)or 5,00 m
(trees) high. Or is that to simple ? Greetz and keep mappingHendrik
