over-complicating :)
the 'wooded area' doesnt actually mean that much .... other than stating 'Hey, there is trees over there' Once the national/regional/local parks are listed, along with the admin boundaries (something better than stats can) and the property boundaries get listed. ... and rivers are added then this 'hey look, trees' area has meaning, so then local municipalities can make decidions on where to expand new parks. farmland owners who own 'wooded area' could 'sub-lease a part of the land as a regional park, and become the park maintainer. ... the same is done with windfarm co-op shared ownership. ..... anyway, osm needs the map data that cant be found on any other map :) cheers, sam On 9/2/10, Tyler Gunn <ty...@egunn.com> wrote: > > Okay, so how is everyone handling huge wooded areas? > Take the massive green blob here for an example: > http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=51.599&lon=-101.054&zoom=10&layers=M > > It literally spans over an entire NTS tile (062N*).
