-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Whenever if is possible to map the building as an area we prefer that system. Houses mapped as nodes only give you a count of the structures, as areas yuo an make further guesses about the population densities and other things based on the area and/or dimensions of the buildings.
Also, as a separate issue, you should not be tagging it as a house unless you know for sure that is what it is. Until we have specific information that it really is a house you should be tagging it as building=yes. - -AndrewBuck On 10/19/2014 10:22 AM, john whelan wrote: > Looking at several bits of mapping in Africa it seems to be normal > to use a rectangle tagged building=house. > > Would a simple POI tagged building=house be acceptable?
