I think that most settlements could be mapped as areas, there's often a border where many people would agree that inside is the settlement and outside is not > In case of a settlement consisting exclusively of > buildings densely located along a road at both sides tagging that > stretch of road as place=hamlet or similar might be a good compact way > to map it but i have not yet seen a case like this in reality. I would prefer an area for this case as well, only disadvantages with a line, besides maybe you can draw a line a bit faster than a polygon, but it would still not convey any notion of spatial extension, while a polygon can do exactly this. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
