[Tagging] The showstoppers for mapping Scandinavian nature.

[Florimond Berthoux]

Hello,

Thank you Andrew for this example, I can see that in Europe some mountain
ranges are also mapped.
That's great, I added one in France, and improved another one.
I incite people to do the same.

I guess fuzzy=50000 is in meters, so more or less 50km around the border is
in the mountain range.
It's the  precision of the measure, as the road lines precision is about a
meter.
That's fine, no measure, no modelisation has an infinite precision.
The data consumer just must be aware of that so he can make a decision.

Regards.
