I always delete the ele tag, since it's less applicable to an area than a point. Of the rest, I usually leave the gnis:featureid tag, just in case someone wants to try to interrelate the two databases at some point in the future. That's honestly a pretty remote possibility, so a lot of people just delete all the GNIS tags. _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies
