[Talk-GB] Should a place be tagged with a node or area?

[Adam Snape]

Thanks Phil,

Our local place mapping must be quite primitive, because few place
boundaries are mapped. Do you mean that both the boundary and node should
carry the place=tag? Where there isn't a clear boundary to the place,
should the mapper estimate it? Glad to hear I've been putting the nodes in
the right place anyway :)

Thanks,

Adam

--------------------

Normally places are mapped with both a boundary and node.

A node is certainly needed for navigation and should be somewhere sensible,
normally the centre is where someone who puts the placename into a satnav
would expect to end up, rather than a housing estate in the geographical
centre.
