but what if you want to map the presence of trees. I would do that with landcover=trees. But those using landuse=forest will have to overlap it on landuse=residential. As I see it, landuse=forest on top another landuse still means the "other" landuse but with some trees on it. landuse=forest not overlapping any other landuse means "forest", and e.g. a small landuse=retail overlapping on landuse=residential means retail (at least that is how carto-css present things now). >> > >> > >> > No, you cant.

Who says what is proper? Proper for me means clearly separate landuse from landcover, so that one can see the use of the land and how it is covered from different tags. Not proper is e.g. one mapper using landuse=forest to indicate an area for timber production and another mapper to map trees in a private residential garden. The latter mapping is fine if you just want to colour a map. :-) m _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
