The precision/accuracy is not only limited by the instruments used but also the knowledge used. For some things OSM has access to very precise data. In other instances it is fuzzy. For some things .. the past entries has been much improved by new data from other sources (sometimes opening of

This sort of object is common in Thailand. We have many gated communities here whose boundaries are not exactly known although they are sometimes fairly obvious in aerial imagery because of being surrounded by a wall or fence of some sort. I create a polygon using Bing imagery, tag it as

Fuzzy boundaries do have their place. Currently we use sharp boundaries for landuse, but often the boundary is really fuzzy. A wooded area would be a good example of a where a fuzzy boundary might be employed. But the fuzziness of a wooded area may only be a few meters. The fuzziness of

Re: [Tagging] Tagging natural or historic regions

If we can't mark polygons as fuzzy, then we can only allow 'accurate' polygons. Then we are back to square one, with no way of accommodating these regions except for a simple node. I think the problem is clear (how do we represent regions whose boundaries are not precisely defined). Time to talk

[Tagging] Recycling Containers with opening_hours or service_times

Hi, I was wondering about the tagging for recycling containers. In Germany they have defined times in which it is allowed to use them to prevent noise pollution. Often the opening_hours-tag is used for that. Sometimes also service_times and in some cases collection_times which is for another
