i might use a polygon to then represent the containing property. a surface tag would be indicated if you're mapping ovals, as in the US small ovals frequently have clay surfaces instead of pavement. richard _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
