Andrew Chadwick's diary

Night hospital'er

Begun detailing the Warneford Churchill hospital area that sits just outside my office last night. building:type=Complex, no kidding, but the N/S layout of the site and JOSM's extrude stuff makes it easier. I'm deliberately restricting myself to only naming buildings which have some relevance to the general public or to visiting academics.

How to map subdivisions like wards in buildings with more than one use? We need some way of mapping (important) building entrances too.

Mapping the insides of buildings would be tricky, both to the gather the data and to represent it. There is a proposal: entrance

Just name every building. In council estates you often have to name the building as the roads don't have any names. What happens if you want to visit a friend who lives in one of these places, or have a meeting there? You can't find it on the map.
