It has been sitting there, slowly expanding, for a while. But I think it's quite an important proposal, and could be a very common feature of well covered maps, as A-Z shows. At least
Tiles@Home currently shows buildings as purple areas. When you think about it, buildings are often one of the easiest ways of knowing where you are! Oooh, there's a load of glasshouses, we must be near that plant nursery...
<br><br>> Thanks for your comments, Rob. I'd missed the proposal and have now added<br>> some comments there. I take your point that have both linear and area<br>> ways with the same tag may complicate things for rendering. Does anyone
<br>> have any other suggestion or comment? Here where I am currently mapping<br>> in Yorkshire, UK, there are many instances of terraced houses bearing an<br>> address in addition to the street they are on, for example "Peel Terrace,
<br>> Ilkley Road". I want to capture the name and location for search purposes<br>> even if it is not map rendered. It is very easy to determine where the<br>> terrace starts and finishes, hence the use of a linear way. I'm a bit
<br>> loathe to use an area since the depth of the terrace would normally just<br>> be a guess.<br><br>I think a guessed area is going to be better than a line, and you can always add a note to say someone with aerial photography or time on their hands to survey needs to go back and correct it.
