Hi I am currently living in Kabul, Afghanistan and editing OSM there in my free time. I have noticed one other guy is mapping and using I guess he is trying to map the land in which there are buildings. In some cases he is not doing it carefully as well so sometimes he is mapping two objects where there are three independent land on the ground. In those places in which I can recognize buildings, I modify the object shape and position and then change the tag into Please let me know what to do with such cases. |
@rabenojha Further to @nevw, this was discussed in https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Key:building#What_about_building.3Dplot answered 18 Dec '20, 04:52 Kovoschiz |
Aside from what to do with the data, I'd definitely comment on the mapper's changesets and explain that "building=plot" is an unusual usage.
I have also seen the usage of building=plot around Kabul and have already messaged the contributor on this issue. I am yet to hear from him though
Land parcels are sometimes mapped as place=plot
