[OSM-talk] Green areas

[Tom Chance]

Ahoy,

I'm mapping Reading University's Whiteknights campus. The entire campus is 
fields, except where you have buildings and roads obviously. This is normally 
represented as lots of green space on the uni maps, but blank space in online 
maps.

I'd personally like it to all look lovely and green - people then know it's a 
nice place to go for a stroll (access is permissive). I could just make a 
huge area to cover the whole campus and mark it as something like 
landuse=field (though this would get a bit silly in the countryside!) and 
then overlay specific areas for playing fields, buildings, etc. Or I could 
leave it all blank aside from playing fields and other more specific bits of 
greenery.

Is there a convention here? I'm aware that I can just make my own custom map 
once Osmarender has produced the SVG, so I'm not too bothered if it stays 
blank.

Kind regards,
Tom
