You can not deny it's misused all the time, as seen in this thread. But considering how long it takes for things to show up on the renderer I do agree that it's a problem: e.g. Golf courses OSM data link: http://osm.org/go/z...@96qqby--?layers=b000ftt Blog posts with rendering: http://weait.com/content/golf-course-style-openstreetmap OSM rendering: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=33.730833&lon=-78.847606&zoom=18 How can this be done better? -- /emj _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
