Hi, We just had a large import of POIs for Korea, and while I welcome the data, things can get a bit confusing when using JOSM.
Being a vertical country, here you might have a building with a convenience store on the 1st (ground) floor, a dentist's office on the 2nd floor, a clinic on the 3rd floor, etc. Since the POIs were located using Yahoo's api to street address (yes, permission was given for OSM) there are sometimes several different POIs stacked on top of one another. The validator complains about this, and I know I can just click the ignore, but this doesn't really solve the problem. I guess the renderer might not be able to render it correctly, but can POIs use the "level" tag? If the level tag is not appropriate, what is the commonly accepted plan for tall buildings with multiple facilities? Ignore everything above ground level? Choose the more important POI and place it? Which would be the more important POI? And while on the subject of levels ... I know the way of a subway should be on a negative level (at least when underground), but should the station POI (or area) for a stop also have a negative level? Not the subway exit where the people walk up to street level, but the actual station/platform itself. Any thoughts, especially on the first question, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and jama rek, Robert "We should give meaning to life, not wait for life to give to give us meaning.
