tim if you need an example of how to tag multiple levels via the indoor tagging:
I did it at St-Laurent shopping mall: https://openlevelup.net/?l=0#18/45.42184/-75.63833 everything is tagged using the simple indoor tagging schema. I highly suggest using JOSM filter on level= but then again josm now has a built in filter for levels On Wed., Nov. 28, 2018, 12:41 p.m. Tim Elrick <[email protected] wrote: > Thank you, John and James. > > Place d'Orleans looks nice.
