Of course, =settlement (or =place) would be better for this than =residential. Residential in any case is somewhat vague. People do reside at work as well as home. -- Mike. @millomweb https://sites.google.com/site/millomweb/index/introduction - For all your info on Millom and South Copeland via *the area's premier website - * *currently unavailable due to the country's ongoing harassment of me, my family, property pets* TCs https://sites.google.com/site/pmailkeey/e-mail ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging

I really like adding the landuses sub-block by sub-block, and in many cases plot to plot, because the imagery was good enough to do it. it is also a ton easier than drawing all the houses - as the houses in Japan are 1/2 size and crammed very close to one another, so tracing them is very tedious. Getting the basic landuses + parks in between the residential roads really adds detail to the map with little effort. http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/36.43462/139.04558 http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/36.43462/139.04558 Javbw___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
