Adding actual names against a property is perhaps the question here? And that is a step to far. Even NLPG data does not have personal data included IN it, but simply putting an address into a phone book on the internet will more than likely provide that data. I don't see any problem identifying what fields belong to a particular farm or what area belongs to a particular dwelling. That is essentially 'land use' and part of this came about because of a blanket application of 'farmland' to some areas of the UK but where proper verification of boundaries throws up various problems with THAT data and now tidying that up needs 'non-visible' information in addition to the visible stuff to correct the mistakes. I have tried simply hiding the data which works around here, but another area nearer London is obviously using a different tag to 'farmland' ... just not identified yet what else to ignore. -- 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 mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
