there is clearly huge local differences, map what you think is appropriate. If the land is accessible, different sections might be useful for orientation. Still they might not completely arbitrarily cut, allowing you to deduct topology from the layout (this of course is dependent on the type of landscape, e.g. hills vs. plains). cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
