can't you do this analysis and add tags to the landmark trees? Or isn't that possible because the numbers are just guesses, and nobody can tell if a single tree is significant or not, if it isn't checked? Is a single apple tree in my garden significant? Are all the non-significant trees lone, just because nobody mapped another tree nearby, and at last (really): how do you mark trees that are "significant AND lone"? Your numbers are flawed because you are just checking "lone tree", not if it is at the same time not significant. What is the purpose of tagging significant or lone trees the same? How do you tag urban trees that are significant? The current definition in the wiki is broken. It is broken because it doesn't work, it isn't logical and it is subjective. Tag the features for which a tree is significant, and you solve all the current problems. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
