I personally do this, if the point of interest is just the building. If it is a campus, however: > Option (1) seems to be OK, if it is a building, but not sure it would > work if it is a property outline... for examle, a school campus.

The buildings on the campus only have building=yes. An example: http://osm.org/go/TdV4TCuTS-- and a few more to the north of this one. > I guess my concern is corrupting the USGS GNIS data by converting from a > Point to an Area (closed ways). Is this even a concern? I did a complete copy/paste of all the tags that were on the GNIS node, to the school campus area, before deleting the node. If there ever is a new round of imports, I wouldn't think it's too hard to also check areas for already existing features. -- Lennard _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies
