[OSM-newbies] Nodes v. Ways when adding amenities

[Gerhardus Geldenhuis]

My personal opinion is that nodes at this stage is probably better. Until
we have better resolution in OSM and in data/imagery... Just a node makes
the map rendering less cluttered BUT we should not map to please the map
rendering engine but rather for the sake of accurate data.

Regards
