[Talk-GB] Landuse between fences?

[Dave F]

Yes I *know*, Martin

I was trying to intimate, *personally*, I wouldn't bother obsessing with 
mapping every *square inch* of land.
Each to there own, of course, map as you see fit, but I find most 
renderings of areas obscure thin centre lines.
Adding surface tags enhances the opacity of tracks/footpaths o the 
'standard' rendering.
