[mkgmap-dev] [PATCH] maps tag landuse=farmyard to 0x4e

Mon Feb 23 20:57:21 GMT 2009

Yes, you are correct.
I am going through the maps in my area now to look for gaps in mapsource and
farmyard was the first on I had seen and I wanted to make sure I knew how
the submitting patches worked.
The others I have missing so far are quarry and farm.
The mapping to 0x4e looked to be the best fit available farmyard & farm.
Quarry looks like it would be industrial.
