<br>
I think we might need some clarification on how to map the helicopter landing sites (Projects #1023 and #1026).<br>
<br>
What I did is this:<br>
- for an official helipad I would create a circle and tag it with "aeroway=helipad" - but I have not come across one while mapping.<br>
- if it is a potential landing site I create a polygon with the actual shape of the site and tag it with "leisure=common"<br>
<br>
Recently I have seen other mappers doing thing a bit differently. I have seen "leisure=common" mapped as circles, even if the place is not really circular. This I where I am not sure what the right approach is. So I would appreciate feedback from others.<br>
<br>
On a side note: Looking for a sample helipad yesterday I also found a number of clear areas tagged with "aeroway=helipad". To me this tag should only be used for marked official helipads. So the data might need some care at some point.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
