I've been lucky so far in that the two or three schools can be identified even if the exact area each uses will require an on site survey. If the information is not available, then I would in yur case simply add two nodes with the name, ref:edubase, and amenity=school, inside the area tagged amenity=school ... the verifier will complain, but the facts are cleanly available and the only error reported would be 'no name on boundary amenity' ... but both schools will be listed and can be crossed off. Getting the schools to provide the fine detail would then be the follow up. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
