A question that is regularly and at length discussed on talk-de, talk, and the newbies list (google "site:lists.openstreetmap.org landuse"). > Do we cover entire villages with > 'landuse=residential'? We sometimes do that for a start when all we have is a Landsat quality satellite image. This can be refined later to differentiate between various types of landuse inside the village. > What is the need of the 'place'-tag then? The place tag is often attached to a node, not an area. If attached to an area, it would mean the entire village. > Oh, and BTW and another question: Why can't a police-station cover an > entire area, but is restricted to a single node? If you want to map the outline of a police station, tag it "amenity=police" and "building=yes".
