Can someone that have use both these polygons frequently please enlighten me as I am getting a bit confused as to which to pick. I must admit it does add coulour to the picure in the end though.

1 0x0011 Residential Building
2 0x0010 House

One sounds a bit snooty than the other, in terms of usage. But I trust both refer to place of domestic dwelling?? #-o

Hi Bro Chinwy,

For me, I am using these for:
1 0x0011 Residential Building - Condo, apartment, flat.
2 0x0010 House - Link houses, semi-d, bungalow.

:tq:

I notice that we don't have polygon for as follow;

1. Place of Worship
2. Petrol Station

Often these two place occupied big space. Can we suggest to have it?

Place of Worship is already in the list of customised polygons: 0x22

Please see the latest MFM Mapping Reference: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=284&p=8143#p8143

As for the others:

  • Petrol Station
      I don't think we need a specific polygon for petrol stations -- the custom POIs are already sufficient for users to see the presence of fuel stations in the map (and they tells us which petrol company to boot)
  • Train Station & Bus Station
      Do we really need to distinguish between Train & Bus? Surely the POI label will give us enough info.

Just my opinion.

Noted in the MFM Mapedit Skin v2.5, the car park 0x0005 now looks nicer and exactly like car park lot. :thumbsup:

Previously I use this 0x0005 for badminton court, basketball court etc also, I think now need to change. What should we use for these sport courts, should we use 0x0019 sport complex for this? :-k

Do I need to change all my completed polygon area that have sport courts that used 0x0005 previously? :-k

Appreciate feedback and advise.

Thanks.
