>From my mapnik rules[1]: place_of_worship polygons are rendered up to scale 1:750,000 place_of_worship points are rendered up to scale 1:12,500 parking polygons are rendered up to scale 1:750,000 parking points are rendered up to scale 1:25,000 [1] these might not be identical to the current rules on OSM but are illustrative. Just had a closer look (and tidied up some TIGER while I was there. Don't get tunnel vision on these two buildings. There is a lot to do in your neighborhood. ;-) Existing: surrounding area tagged amenity=place_of_worship node tagged amenity=place_of_worship, with name=, etc. as well. area tagged amenity=parking, access=destination building(s) tagged building=yes What I usually do for similar places: Draw the building and tag as building=yes, address details, amenity=place_of_worship, name=, etc... Draw the parking area tagged as amenity=parking, (I presume access=private) Draw the driveway(s) connecting to the city streets, tagged as highway=service, service=driveway Things that surprised me a bit: 1) The whole area defined as amenity=place_of_worship, then a node as amenity=place_of_worship, with name and other details. If I do a quick count of places of worship for your area, I would double-count those tagged with both a node and a way. Now, shame on me for doing a naive count of nodes plus ways, but perhaps they are better as either a node or an area but not both. 2) No address data? Typically, I would put the amenity, address, name and other details on the building. 3) Parking lots shown but no driveways to connect the local roads. . _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies
