In the past when simplifying streams I've used JOSM with max-error set to 1.5, which I believe is in meters. For UBC buildings I used max-error=.1 In the first case I wasn't losing any accuracy since the ways were often off by more than 1.5m. In the second case I was losing accuracy, but the import source was too detailed. _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
