well, they can also be marked as polygons (delimiting the actual built-up area, place-tag), but as our major renderer mapnik doesn't support this, there is very few places mapped like this (it would make them disappear from the rendering). > - Sometimes, there are additional ways (boundary=administrative) to delimit > the administrative boundary yes, usually this would be relations, because they allow to use the ways several times (for the areas each side of the way) > - As a bonus, there can be relations that link the city node to its > boundary. yes, might be, there should / could also be hierarchical structure / nested relations, etc. > So now, let's go with other administrative divisions : > Now, let's say I want to add an entry for Orange County.

Should it just appear as a boundary=administrative, yes, this should go into an administrative relation and get its admin_level for county ( 6 ) http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Admin_level cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
