[talk-ph] How to tag Subdivisions - Villages ?

[ian lopez]

I basically tag notable (read: large to extremely large) "subdivisions" and "villages" as place=hamlet. If they don't meet the criteria, landuse=residential. Remember that place=village is mostly used for barangays.

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
