Dear friends, I have worked with folks doing ground surveys of helicopter landing zones during emergency response. These are ground truthed locations, observed by active search and rescue helicopter pilots collecting the basic minimum critical ground survey items for an HLZ for their aircraft

2016-03-19 Thread Blake Girardot
I am reluctant to suggest that mapping large groups of buildings as one outline is a good idea. As I said, to me it is a last resort and should be avoided at all costs. Otherwise we are going to get blocks of easily mapped buildings outlined as building just because that is a lot easier and

Hi all, I am looking through taginfo and the wiki, but I don't see a good clear tag for immigrant/asylum/refugee "reception" centers. These are usually government type facilities that process immigrants and refugees. Some are also holding facilities, and some are just government offices.

Hi Volker, I generally tag them with: roof:material=grass or roof:material=plants http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:roof:material But in this case and maybe in other smaller cases it looks like we almost need a: roof:use=* Where the roof is used for something besides just covering.

Damage info has been tagged in OSM for a long time. OSM already tags a lot of temporary and transient stuff. We are aware of the nature of the tags and want to be able to review, maintain the remove the tags, it is one of the main goals of any tagging system we settle on like that. On
