[OSM-talk] Mapping of temporary features/conditions

[Mike Thompson]

Martin,

Thanks for the information.  That is an interesting point about Burning
Man.

I think the danger is that a new mapper may try and map everything they see
in a satellite image (or observe in person), such as a flooded area as
natural=water.  I could explain the nuance in my talk, but it would be even
better to also refer to something on the wiki that documents it.

Mike
