You mean in case you are looking at an aerial image and want to colour a part of the map ? Or is this also a problem in case you surveyed the area on the ground ? I just had to fix a few farmlands with orchard and plant_nursery, so I am very sensitive to incorrect mapping landuse based on aerial images. I rather see it not rendered at all on the map than with a wild guess m. p.s. from the landuse=farmland wiki page "Also note that many mappers prefer the more specific tags landuse=meadow for meadows and pastures (what is labelled landuse=farmland in the picture), landuse=orchard for fruit orchards, and use landuse=farmland for cropland only." I assume this line was not added only for Belgium :-) p.p.s. on the German versions of the farmland page, no one mentions that it can be used for meadows (although the use the same picture) "landuse=farmland kennzeichnet eine Ackerfläche. Äcker werden zum landwirtschaftlichen Feldfruchtanbau und zum erwerbsgärtnerischen Blumen- und Gemüseanbau genutzt. Für Grünland zur Tierweide oder Heugewinnung sollte landuse=meadow gewählt werden." _______________________________________________ Talk-be mailing list Talk-be@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-be
