The simple case is boundaries, you might be able to use info from POIs to create a boundary but I wouldn't use them to generate a map like that. is_in is being replaced with boundaries so you don't need to tag every single node/way/relation with is_in same with addr:postcode I'm guessing. All the postcode boundaries in Australia have been tagged as postal_code and were that way before I became involved so I'm not sure if this is the best tag to use or not but it was already in use and will keep getting used for consistency reasons. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
