One of my little hopes (which I'm very very slowly attacking) is to have OSM have all the walls and fences and suchlike to the same standard as OS (them being very useful to walkers and suchlike).
I noticed that lots of fields, for example in http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=53.92332&lon=-1.7091&zoom=15&layers=M are shown as closed loops of landuse=field. Clearly walls/fences and enclosed fields are somewhat equivalent, but subtly different in terms of what they describe (certainly, walls are not always around fields) Am I the only one that has been drawing walls and not fields? It's nice to have fields as individual logical units, but they're defined by the walls, so it strikes me the wall should be the defining characteristic. Is this a software problem in that the areas and the features are defined independently? Fields do at least render, but this seems like a poor reason to me. cheers, Henry _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
