The fact that a lot of buildings are missing in 12.PNG not all of which are probably newly built idicates that these two data sets are not meant to represent the same feature set, likely the one in 12.PNG is limited to certain types of buildings (like houses).

If i understand this correctly that would mean the data set represents the state of affairs as they are planned, i.e. the plans submitted by the land owners to obtain permission to build which do not necessarly match what is actually built in reality or what might have been demolished or modified without knowledge of the authorities. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ Imports mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/imports
