if it's about a ford in a stream which is tagged say width=0.7, which other information would you get from a way for the ford instead of a node? Wouldn't hydrants (or public telephones, etc.) be better mapped as areas when it comes to micro-mapping ;-) ? There is no "node" in real world, still many objects are better (or almost equally) represented by a node instead of by an area. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
