Good point. Many embassies and consulates are an office in an office building, not an area. I represent them with a node in my mapping of Ashgabat (see the Embassy of Qatar in Ashgabat). Landuse is thus not a good solution, I fear.
There is also the issue of multiple sites for an embassy (in Ashgabat my embassy has four locations, two of which are offices in office buildings). I mapped those two as nodes and tagged amenity=embassy. Seems to work. If there is no consensus yet on an alternative, for now I will leave the proposal as amenity=consulate since that matches amenity=embassy. We still have lots of time to consider alternatives, however! Any new ideas? apm-wa Sent from my iPhone > On Oct 25, 2018, at 2:57 PM, marc marc <marc_marc_...@hotmail.com> wrote: > > if you known the "land scope" of a consulate, > of course you may add it like we did sometime for school > and thus all tag are only on one polygon. > but landuse can't be the main tag, because if you have no idea about the > scope of a consulate, or if the consulate only have a level inside a > building, you can't add a landuse tag. > which is why I think it's best to keep the two subjects separate. > >> Le 25. 10. 18 à 03:25, Allan Mustard a écrit : >> I like Graeme's idea.
