Hi all, I don't relish bringing this up since it's a bit of a tangle, but I noticed Cambridge has a lot more universities than I thought! Apparently 1219, judging from the number of amenity=university tagged objects. In real life I'm aware of two: Cambridge Uni, Anglia Ruskin Uni.
I think someone mentioned Cambridge Uni was using OpenStreetMap for some of its maps,* so I'd be nervous about proposing anything radical right now. But is there anyone on this list who is a Cambridge mapper, or connected to the university's use of mapping? It's possible that some team decided to use the tag to mark every college building (etc), when really amenity=university is supposed to mark a university, not a piece of a university. To do it "properly" it might need some neat relations to group these things. (Might be fun for someone who loves relations - various multi-site and hierarchical connections among the buildings scattered across town!) Alternatively there are tags in use such as building=university which might be good drop-in replacements... Best Dan * They use OSM for their basemap: http://map.cam.ac.uk/ - I wonder if they're getting their POI info from it too _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
