[Tagging] Another multipolygon question

2018-10-20 Thread Dave Swarthout
Another situation that occurs quite frequently in my mapping (in Alaska especially), is when an island defined by natural=coastline is also covered right to the water with natural=wood. Usually, I duplicate the coastline, shrink it a bit, and then tag it with natural=wood. But yesterday I tried som

Not only legitimate, but recommended! If you haven't stumbled on it yet, another useful procedure is to map areas of landuse use or landcover by drawing each border only once, and having each area be a multipolygon with the shared border way as a member. With that approach there's no need to retr

Yes, it's a good idea to creating pages for all the keys and subkeys to aid taginfo visibility. If you use redirects, the Wiki tab will link be populated, like so: https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/contact%3Aphone#wiki If you use use non-redirected pages, the description field will also be

Excuse me if I didn't make myself clear, English is not my native language. In OSM the name of a place is usually, but not always the name on the sign. If the sign only had space for 5 characters, it will in many cases contain the short_name, not the name. In some cases, a venue would erect multip

Wow, the West Point and the Hudson Highlands State Park multipolygons are impressive and yes, I see how using multipolygons has made it simpler. Except if, as Mark points out, one of the boundaries changes and then it's going to be an awful mess to fix. In my particular use case, it's highly unlike
