Disambiguation

  • (Silage-)Heaps, which have been simply heaped on a lawn, should not be mapped as man_made=bunker_silo, because these exist only for some months.
  • Military bunkers or silos should be tagged with military=bunker instead.
  • Three-walled racquetball courts may look similar in aerial imagery but should be tagged leisure=pitch sport=racquet instead.
