Most people tag them as place=hamlet. place=village is for Barangay. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Philippines/Mapping_conventions#Barangay_names

(e.g. is_in:city etc.) adding the place=hamlet is sufficient for the OSM-PH Garmin Map. I have not figured out how to use the is_in for garmin search. Any advise is welcome. > Sorry for the trouble guys. No trouble. Questions like these are very much appreciated. One more thing, I think the OSM PH agreed not to add the word street for the street names except for example "First Street" or 1 Street. The word Road, Avenue, Boulevard whenever it exist, is OK. This is not standard for OSM International. Just for the Philippines. > Regards, > > Jing > > > > > ________________________________ > New Email names for you! > Get the Email name you've always wanted on the new @ymail and @rocketmail. > Hurry before someone else does! > _______________________________________________ > talk-ph mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ph > > -- cheers, maning ------------------------------------------------------ "Freedom is still the most radical idea of all" -N.Branden wiki: http://esambale.wikispaces.com/ blog: http://epsg4253.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ talk-ph mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ph
