[talk-au] How to label ill-defined places?

[Little Maps]

Hi again everyone, hope you’re all enjoying Easter. A simple newbie question...

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.

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?

Place:locality
Name: Killers Point
Source geometry:
Source name: xxx

Thanks again, and thanks too to Warin for answering my earlier question.

Best wishes Ian
