A simple newbie question...<br>
<br>
How do you label localities that have no precise boundaries? I’m working on part of the Murray River and adding locality names from Vic Gov data. Many can be placed on mapped features (e.g. campsites and beaches) but lots cannot.<br>
<br>
The most common examples are ‘bends’ and ‘points’, such as Horseshoe Bend, Hideaway Bend, Cray Point, Killers Point, etc. These areas have no mapped boundaries. Should these be added by placing a node / point in the appropriate place and labelled it as follows, or is there a better way?<br>
<br>
Place:locality<br>
Name: Killers Point<br>
Source geometry:<br>
Source name: xxx<br>
<br>
Thanks again, and thanks too to Warin for answering my earlier question.<br>
<br>
Best wishes Ian<br>
