Interestingly, I don't gather a lot of POIs when surveying, because I'm usually not going to be returning to the survey areas to keep the POIs up to date. On the other hand, I try to scrupulously record all addresses, because in my opinion those have longer lifetimes than, say, your average strip mall shop. (This, of course, only reinforces the recurring theme of "OSM is different things to different people". As does the fact that I've been taking a break from surveying by mapping all the power lines in my state.) -- ...computer contrarian of the first order... / http://aperiodic.net/phil/ PGP: 026A27F2 print: D200 5BDB FC4B B24A 9248 9F7A 4322 2D22 026A 27F2 --- -- /me pats his two indy's lovingly, don't listen to those nasty sun enthuasists boys, their machines are a dull nasty grey, not a nice pretty blue colour like you two. -- Greg McCarroll ---- --- -- _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
