[OSM-talk] virtual san francisco mapping party?

[Peter Miller]

Good detective work Andy.

So... is there a tag for salt flats and what colour would it be rendered as
if there was one, or should one argue that there is water involved (if a bit
salty) and so natural=water is ok.

I think I will add a note to a few of the ponds that say that they are salt
flats and leave it to others to finesse the tagging later.


Regards,



Peter
