[Talk-GB] Invalid building levels and building (part) height license compatibility

2019-03-16 Thread Neil Matthews
Anyone mapping in Manchester might want to take a look for strange fractional building:levels. It's possible that some commercial editors found that they got better results with open source 3D renderers by using ~0.75 per building level, rather than the documented value of 1. We recently had a

To me the simplest rule of thumb is that a park is fenced, allowing the authorities to control access, while a common is unfenced allowing anyone to access it at any time. The local municipal park here is unfenced, just a row of low wooden bollards to prevent vehicle incursions. Access on foot

No, Carto is just one way of viewing OSM data. It has a small number of maintainers and although highly visible does not represent any 'official' view. Nor, incidentally, does the OSM wiki. Re-tagging things to make them render on Carto is very poor practice. Use of park would be reprehensible &

And yes, I'm aware that tagging for the renderer is wrong, and that a common isn't a park. But by making this change carto have effectively redefined the common tag as deprecated. On Sat, 16 Mar 2019, 12:54 Edward Catmur, wrote: > They're going to be retagged anyway to get them to render in the

They're going to be retagged anyway to get them to render in the main map, so I doubt that's a solution. Any conclusion on how to tag them now? Perhaps leisure=park, park=common? On Sat, 16 Mar 2019, 12:51 SK53, wrote: > Yup, it's gone. I think the standard thing is use Andy's (SomeoneElse)

Yup, it's gone. I think the standard thing is use Andy's (SomeoneElse) map which is likely to retain features of value & relevance to British & Irish map users. On Sat, 16 Mar 2019 at 12:35, Ian Caldwell via Talk-GB < talk-gb@openstreetmap.org> wrote: > In the last day or two the standard
