That it is not known to the mapper does not mean it has no function. I think that landcover therefore should never be rendered on carto but always serve as a secondary tag.

If landuse is not known but you see gras, stretch the definition of landuse to include "unknown, but it's grass". It worked when applied at a large scale. With micromapping, it's a bit silly to tag grass as a landuse. It gives a nice green colour to the community lawn, though.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></div>
