(Note: since this is a tagging question this is in a way the wrong group).

If it is not walkable it would be more like a japanese rock garden so you could use leisure=garden + garden:style=rock_garden. What you are suggesting here is essentially like the old mapping for the renderer habit of tagging sand bunkers on golf courses natural=beach. It would degrade the quality of the data of what is tagged natural=shingle which fortunately at the moment is pretty good (since it is a relatively young tag documented precisely from the beginning and rendered in a way that supports correct use). So no, i would be strongly against extending natural=shingle to urban areas artificially covered with loose stones based on a physical similarity. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
