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

2009-10-23 Thread Totor
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

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.
