some crazy people do routing inside buildings! http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Image:Inhouserouting.png :-) otoh, there are many things which are not directly useful for routing (e.g: lakes, forests, non-highway POIs) but are useful to have in OSM anyway. houses, when appropriately tagged, are useful for geocoding and visual navigation. cheers, matt _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
