Re: [talk-au] Queensland parks, forests and conservation areas
Hi James, Sorry but I have just been looking at the boundary=protected_area tag. It appears it is a new tag someone has made to render specific ways using KOSMOS rendering platform. I am not sure if it is an approved tag. Although I quite like the idea of it. May need to use the boundary=national_park Maybe someone can clarify. I was also looking at mkgmap (used to produce Garmin maps) and it appears that the default is to render off leisure=nature_reserve and landuse=forest and not boundary=national_park. Also no mention of protected_area.

If it serves a useful purpose and it doesn't duplicate the functionality of another tag already well used, then just use it, tags don't need to be official, although a little common sense can be a good thing :) Several trivial tags put to a vote of late drew out an anti-voting movement, where the response was to just use it. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

Is it worth using an additional classification:qld=national_park|conservation_park|state_forest, etc. (or similar), just to make things extra clear? That is, when you use a rule like Conservation Parks get boundary=protected_area, I think it would be nice to also record that they are a conservation_park. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

Are you actually going to put the fact that it is a State forest anywhere? Sure, landuse=forest is not a problem, but some sort of tag stating that it is a state forest (as opposed to private land) sounds appropriate.
