With the use of source tags you won't have to, you can filter out anything without source=survey leaving you with a map with just surveyed data (in theory). You filtering out data you don't like is a much better option than forcing everyone else to not have access to that data just because you don't like it. (I'm thinking of the case where you have some area/features that no one is currently mapping by local_knowledge, and some kind soul helps out by tracing the area/feature that no one else has added from a ground survey yet). (but this will omit stuff which was originally traced, but then confirmed via survey without the need to update the source tags as nothing was updated) _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
