I think we need to map peninsulas in three ways, as nodes, areas, and ways.
Areas when the land border is obvious. Nodes for little ones, when you don't have time to draw an area and the shape of the peninsula is obvious. Then there are ways, when the peninsula is huge, or when the land border isn't obvious, like the Italian peninsula or the Peninsula of India. I made a proposal for mapping peninsulas as ways: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Peninsula Janko On Sat, Jan 5, 2019, 23:10 Christoph Hormann <[email protected]> wrote: > > For understanding of the Florida physical geography - Cape Canaveral is > located here > > https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4887735121 > > USGS topos identify another cape - unmapped in OSM - slightly northwest > called the 'False Cape' (somewhat generic term for capes that are > likely mistaken for the real thing from the sea) near here: > > https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/5316727559 > > The area Cape Canaveral AFS is built on > > https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/7384620 > > is called Canaveral Peninsula (unmapped in OSM - see USGS topos as well) > which is part of Merritt Island. > > -- > Christoph Hormann > http://www.imagico.de/ > > _______________________________________________ > Tagging mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging >
