[Talk-ca] Parc Summit Montréal
Bonjour Je me demande s'il s'agit d'une erreur ou simplement circonstanciel? Est-ce qu'il s'agit pour un d'une limite administrative de parc (20187021) et l'autre de la forêt(189610345)?Ça me semble tout de même ambigu! http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/189610345 http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/20187021 merci -- simon mercier co-fondateur solutions mapgears 2383 che ste-Foy bur 202 québec, qc canada G1V1T1 t_418_476_7139#101 m_418_559_7139 simonmercier.net / mapgears.com ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
Re: [Talk-ca] Parc Summit Montréal
Bonjour Simon! Forgive my lack of ability in writing french - hopefully it won't make a difference. Took a look at the area that you are referring to. The area that is designated as the park is a Forest while the other overlapping area is designated as Wood. From looking over the maps provided by the City of Montreal (http://www.lemontroyal.qc.ca/carte/en/index.sn), it would appear that the overlap is incidental - the park area includes much of the green space boxed in by the road and administrative boundary, but not all of it. In fact, the park is separated from the administrative boundary by a small gap. It appears that it should actually be connected to that boundary. The use of Forest is odd - this is a designated park and would likely be better suited to be noted as amenity=park. It is arguable that Forest is not the predominate use for the area as that tag tends to be used for areas that are managed by humans for the purposes of harvesting. Is having the landuse here actually necessary? Using the amenity tag for a park appears to override the Forest tag with the actual use of the land (for recreational purposes). Hope that helps.

Re: [Talk-ca] Parc Summit Montréal
Both landuse=forest and natural=wood may be used to indicate an area with trees. There are differing views about what the tags mean, so it is possible for one person to sensibly use landuse=forest to map something while a different person would use natural=wood to map that exact same thing.

Re: [Talk-ca] Parc Summit Montréal
Good point. I've seen the discussion relating to the use of the forest landuse tag and the wood natural tag. It does just boil down to the mappers preference. My answer was based on my use ... there are no wrong answers, of course.
