A Burger King building in my area has a couple of overhangs above the drive-through. I've tagged these parts I am unsure of how to map the 'outline' member of this relation. Should it overlap all of these building parts, or should it only overlap the building's asked 03 May, 01:42 Zismac |
In general the convention in OSM is to map the bird's-eye view & not the footprint of the building. Most building will be mapped from aerial or satellite imagery so accurate mapping of footprints requires additional on-the-ground inspection. Mapping the building as visible from above generally ensures buildings are mapped consistently. Note that this is different from the typical approach of national topographic maps. answered 03 May, 10:46 SK53 ♦ |
