<br>
I was on this list a while back expressing some frustration over <br>
limitations when tagging nature and thought about getting involved in a <br>
process for change, but I came to realize that it's not feasible for me <br>
in my current life situation, so I've decided to continue be a normal <br>
mapper as before, doing what I can do with features that exist today.<br>
<br>
Anyway, if to be a mapper at all, I still like to solve some of my <br>
naming issues in the best/least bad ways possible today. I'm currently <br>
mapping a national park in Sweden, Muddus. It's in Laponia and consists <br>
of mighty wetlands and old forest. These wetlands are named, like is <br>
common in Sweden and Sami lands. For us navigating in wildlife, names in <br>
nature are important.<br>
<br>
A wetland polygon can be named in OSM, so the situation is better than <br>
for example for named slopes (also common). However, a wetland here can <br>
consist of both bog and marsh (and it's important to make the <br>
difference, since one is easy to walk on, the other not so much). That's <br>
two different natural types and thus can't be in the same multipolygon <br>
(as outers).<br>
<br>
Asking on OSM Help website for a solution I got the answer to make a new <br>
containing multipolygon and set the name on that. That would be quite <br>
elegant for sure, but JOSM warns about that, can't have a name without a <br>
type, and if I set the type, say natural=wetland without any subtype, I <br>
get a JOSM warning that I have natural features on top of eachother. If <br>
I still upload it OSM-Carto does render out the name but you can see <br>
that the wetland pattern of the outer polygon is drawn on top of the <br>
contained polygons, so it does not seem to be the way to do it.<br>
<br>
The least bad way I've come up with is to just name all polygons <br>
belonging to the same wetlands the same, and hope for that in the future <br>
smart renderers will understand that polygons with shared borders and <br>
shared name is the same named entity.<br>
<br>
Any ideas or suggestions?<br>
