Re: [talk-au] Attributing points and/or areas
i much prefer the single object option ie move attributes to the polygon if it is mapped. Just want to make sure that if/when these mass imports are updated (ie caltex service stations etc) that any scripts will check both point and polygon features.

Re: [talk-au] Attributing points and/or areas
Wiki sort of suggests your GPS hat is correct, leave the node as it is, map the building and concourse, then map with building=yes or surface=paved and highway=service. Also, do you have highway=service ways leading from the road to the concourse driveways? You can also tag the building entrance too, if you know that detail.

[talk-au] Attributing points and/or areas
I am starting to map landuse areas across Bendigo. I am wondering what to do when (for instance) a petrol station has been mapped as a point with all the attributes attached. I have now mapped the polygon representing the actual area of the petrol station. Which attribute(s) should go on which feature? Should both feature (point and polygon) be kept? Thinking from an OSM perspective I'd say move all the attributes from the point to the polygon and delete the point. With my GPS hat on I'd say attribute the polygon as amenity=fuel but leave the point and all its attributes so it shows up on the GPS as a POI. Is there a general consensus on what to do? This same scenario arises with pubs, restaurants etc Cheers, Craig ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
