some are military, some are governmental, and some seem to be sth on their own 
;-)

office is ok for offices, but I’d tag this to the office, not the whole 
facility. By using a different key we can distinguish and combine as needed.
For military services you can add military=* as well.

Actual flower Farms are landuse=farmland crop=flowers. Yea, they may have a 
viewpoint and a gift shop. But those large commercial farms are not what I'm 
talking about. 

These are about tagging the actual beds of decorative flowers with 
landuse=flowerbed (which I think is totally a landuse - it is land dedicated to 
flowers for display or decoration), and tagging gardens that are "flower 
spectacles" - places that grow flowers primarily as a spectacle (and often 
charge admission) using a garden:type=foobar is the two tags I am asking for 
feedback on. Landuse=grass is crappy - is it for sports? picnicing? Roadside 
shoulder? Landscaping? 

Luckily flowers in a non-farm sense serve a single purpose - to be looked at. 
They are colorful decorations. You don't sleep on them. You don't play sports 
on them. People grow flowers in dedicated land merely to be enjoyed. 



Several places around the world grow tulips and build a Dutch windmill to 
emulate a working landuse=farmland - but just as Space Mountain is neither a 
spaceship nor an actual mountain, these are tourist attractions made to emulate 
the look of a farm for people looking to take pictures. These fall into the 
category of "flower attractions" and I want to tag these as such. 

When I lived in San diego, the only thing I had ever seen like this is the 
Carlsbad flower fields. There are formal botanical gardens and rose gardens - 
but a town or large commercial park just doesn't purposefully grow very large 
fields of flowers in a large field and put out a viewing platform like they do 
in Japan *and* get hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of people a week 
that come to just merely view the spectacle  that they purposefully made, year 
after year in the same spot and static configuration. 

Maybe it is common in the rest of the world, but these flower spectacles (and 
their dedicated area just for flowers) seems something that needs precise 
tagging.

There are many natural spectacles (the fall colors on the mountains, certian 
flowers that grow on wild hills, etc) that is a form of attraction, but is 
neither a subset of garden nor a flowerbed. 

Just like a fountain in a park and a waterfall in the wilderness. 

Just to muddy the waters, several places I take pictures of flowers "in the 
wilderness" are transplanted and cultivated by the locals. Some of the flowers 
are native to other regions, and transplanted to similar climates to recreate 
the natural spectacle, and to diversify the locations (in case a volcano 
explodes and kills all the others in one spot). They care for the plants and 
increase their density to keep the (moneymaking) attraction. But these are 
pretty rare compared the flower spectacles I am talking about. 

There was an eruption on Mt Kusatsu-Shirane a few months ago; it was 400m from 
some mountain flowers they painstakingly transplanted a couple decades prior. I 
hope they all lived.

I understand the land is dedicated to displaying flowers, but landuses are
usually broader categories.
And I wouldn't look at these in a feature agnostic way. An area with
decorative flowers organized and presented in flowerbeds, with visitors and
maybe a fee, will be something, like a flower show, with a name, maybe a
website etc. that distinguishes them from the private flowerbeds in a
residential area. IMHO you should aim at representing this feature. It
doesn't mean you can't map the single flowerbed inside, but first I'd look
for a way to represent the whole thing.

Good idea sharing nodes, that's doable but a bit tricky with JOSM. I
wonder about other editors.
I would however make a short test to see what Osmose say about it
(rightly or not).
There's a floating rule that ways cannot overlap unless making areas
share the same limits (e.g. buildings).
I would raise the layer=* of the railway. I seem to think overlapping is
allowed then.
I swear I don't map for the render but that doesn't stop me wondering
what it will be.

Re: [Tagging] Railways along streets

2018-04-11 Thread Nick Bolten
One downside of mapping the railway on a separate layer is that
intersecting streets would be neglected, such as S Main St at the next
intersection. S Main St actually crosses the rail and some part of that
intersection should probably be tagged with info about the rail crossing
(i.e. they should share a node), but this would not be caught by QA /
editors with validation because different-layer ways are allowed to
intersect without sharing a node.

There's also potential for impacts on other features like footways that
intersect or ways that actually are on a different layer that now need to
be bumped up/down to avoid intersecting the rail.

François' suggestion seems like the most descriptive option in lieu of a
lane-like standard for composite ways.

+1 to mapping tehm as separate ways.
If traffic can physically cross from one side of the railway to the other
(eg. to do a u-turn) the road shouldn't be mapped as two oneway highways
because it affects routing.

That is the overall Garden.  Garden:type=flower_field. Or flower_Spectacle. 
Whatever people suggest.  Tag the fees, name, website, etc on the enclosing 
garden tag (along with tourism=attraction). 

I micromap tourist destinations. I tag the walking paths and walls. Hedges and 
driveways. Individual trees. Fences, gates, parking lot refs and individual 
vending machines. Many of the places I personally visit are flower parks. I 
have visited  9 flower parks in the last few years. I map places I visit 
and revisit. Most are large outdoor gardens that fit into existing garden tags. 
A few of them are either a stand-alone flower fields or a garden/park/ with a 
named feature that is a dedicated large flower field (like that hill of blue 
nemophila). But all of them have beds of flowers with areas easily mappable 
from imagery. 


I need another tag that says "this area here visible in imagery is decorative 
flowers". This exact 5m2 Or 100m2. If that is landuse=flower_bed or 
man_made=flowerbed or whatever, it's okay with me, I would like to "approve" it 
so we can get it documented, along with the garden:type=value.

You can't nest landuses? We nest every other type of area. 

I am not mapping individual blooms, nor does someone snipping a blossom and 
bringing it in their house affect the mapping of flowerbeds. I am mapping the 
use of this spot of land. To me, that is a landuse. If it is landcover or 
man_made or a new key like landscaping= or whatever, I don't care - but 
landuse=flower_bed is in defacto use and seems acceptable. 

No one digs up the entire area of land and destroys it if they are just 
snipping a blossom. The flowers are a decoration in the flowerbed. It is not a 
flower farm. I have an orange tree in my yard - I do not run an orchard. A 
flower park is not a farm either. The purpose of the land is still to grow 
ornamental flowers for enjoying their beauty there.  If they kill all the 
flowers and plant grass or build a shed, it is no longer a flowerbed.

Yes... for things like a lilly pond, topiary etc
If not already used for something else - like highway, residential etc.

?landuse=decorative? passive_recreation?

I think the tag should not be a specific physical object but what it is used

When I lived in San diego, the only thing I had ever seen like this is the
Carlsbad flower fields. There are formal botanical gardens and rose gardens
- but a town or large commercial park just doesn't purposefully grow very
large fields of flowers in a large field and put out a viewing platform like
they do in Japan *and* get hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of
people a week that come to just merely view the spectacle  that they
purposefully made, year after year in the same spot and static
configuration.

Maybe it is common in the rest of the world, but these flower spectacles
(and their dedicated area just for flowers) seems something that needs
precise tagging.
