[Talk-gb-westmidlands] Mapping parks

[Rob Nickerson]

Hi All, Graeme,

(All: If you worked on the National Memorial Arboretum, can you advise on
what tags you used to add the memorial information to trees. Thanks).

You certainly can. When you open the map editor double click on the map to
add a 'node' (a point) where the tree is. In the left hand pane you will
then have to select the "advanced" tab at the bottom. This allows you to
add any map feature that is not part of the 'simple' list.

All info is added as "Tags" which are in the form "key"="value". So once
you have added a node and selected the "advanced" tab you will need to add
"natural" in the key column and "tree" in the value column (without the
quotation marks). You can then add the details about the memorial. If
anyone can suggest a good tag for this (based on the NMA work) then please
do.

If you feel really inclined to do so you can also add tags about the tree
itself. See: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tree

Regards,
Rob

p.s Thanks for your contributions to Spon Street.
