Thanet: Changing from businesses on building to nodes
Posted by JayTurnr on 15 June 2021 in English.Thanet is a very old place and sometimes it hard to make out individual buildings in built-up areas.
To help solve this, moving forward I will be tagging businesses/addresses on the main entrance node unless it’s easy to say for certain what physical space that address takes up in that structure (houses are a lot easier locally).
I’m starting with Holly Lane area of Northdown Road

Hi Jay.
I sympathise with you about the difficulty of making out individual buildings in built-up areas. I’ve been there myself.
I think you have may the right call of creating buildings when you can identify individual buildings and creating nodes when you cannot identify individual buildings. However, I suggest you create a “business type node” instead of an entrance node as in editing mode all these different businesses just appear as doors. It makes it difficult identifying an individual business to edit.
Kind Regards
