I'm fine that all of those are called forest. But again that does not help to exclude the one I have shown you in Waasmunster. And again you have not answered my questions on how to map named forests with lakes and whether you think it's OK to have overlapping landuse, those are more important than defining my vague definition of forest. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
