[Tagging] Open Defecation Areas

[Bob Kerr]

Hi,

Mapping areas for Open Defecation may be a little tricky in the web editor but no problem in JOSM. In many slums Open Defecation Areas(ODA) can be a lot bigger than the size of a house. Individual nodes would be used in places like between houses or dead ends. Some areas are so big they have become permanent. This is why I think the landuse tag is relevant to this situation. I can understand referencing google maps but their mapping in areas where they don’t get revenue is not that great.

Cheers

Bob
