Hi everybody,
I'm not really happy with my Subdivision name tags in Cebu City.
I'm currently using place=suburb wich seems the smallest city sub-division.
The name already appears on low zoom levels and will clutter the map.
(The name appears on the map like barangays,
making it difficult to differentiate both.)

The lower sub-division of cities would be a "locality",
but this is for "An unpopulated, named place."
It doesn't seem much used also.
I used to map Subdivisions as place=subdivision.
A tag that seems to be used in the Philippines ;

Unfortunately this is not part of the "official" tags,
and then the name never appears on any map....

Any ideas or suggestions? How do you tag (private) subdivisions?
Regards,
Totor
