Think that, in some parts of the world, you don't have high res. images and you cannot count the amout of lanes or see the shoulders or the limit between the road and next landuse. Or that the person adding landuse is working at a "municipality" level, not at a "fence" level. It was always like this in OSM, the first contributor adds a node for a townhall, the second draws or import the building footprint and move the tags from the node to the way, etc. The crowd is not mapping at the same map scale. Assuming you start to map "fences" and "walls", you have to adapt the existing data to your level of contributions. But you shouldn't forbid other contributions if they are not at your expectations. Again, it's an iterative concept. New contributions increase the quality. What is not acceptable is that new contributions decrease the level of the mapping (excepted in some cases I could develop) Pieren _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
