Hi all,
i just want to check with the team here on this.
On the buildings wiki chart for the unknown buildings that are points,
i had them listed as just 'building=yes' and it shows up as an icon of
a house in JOSM, but doesnt get rendered on the 3 osm maps.
Is the decision final to OMITthis feature?
-because it doesnt give much help to the map user if no other
information is given. Until the point has eg. The company name and/or
the building function, it doesnt serve a purpose, other than to fill a
whole in the map.
Eg. In rural Canada, where there actually is NO defining landmarks,
maybe then? But still, each road has a name or #. And these buildings
are considered private property anyway. It appears that all
'businesses with a physical address are listed, and thats what shows
up in CanVec data.
Obviously, id like to keep it, but i think we need to brainstorm other
reasons why.
I agree for the building areas too keep.
Anyway, it (building points) can still be available, but just in that
'extra' folder.
cheers,
Sam
