Others before you have not been shy of doing this - some of them deliberately, sometimes with ugly blunt imports (*cough*schools in Mali*cough*) and others just because the imagery they had years ago was much worse than what we had today. So, there is a lot of precedent for that. The fixme (something like "Approximate location, in the viccinity of this village") is of course a must. Beyond that, my opinion is that the approximate POI should be clustered around the place=* so that they appear to mean "this exists somewhere in this village" instead of having them placed at random positions around where one might think they are actually precisely there. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
