Because it gives you more information (e.g. the radius of the circle, or a more detailed shape in case it isn't a circle). It also gives more detailed information about the shape and the position of the streets that connect at the junction. (in reality they do not meet all in a single point). Finally if you wanted to map what is inside the circle you don't have a serious option without having explicit geometry, especially if it is composed of more than one part. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
