For some mappers there was a difference between what they meant - unfortunately the difference varied among mappers, making the two different tags effectively the same globally (https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/647#issuecomment-52816195) and the distinction between them useless. This was also not captured in the existing cartography.\r\n\r\nFixes #938\r\nFixes forest part of #937\r\nCloses pnorman#6\r\n\r\nThanks to @SK53 for symbol selection and @imagico for the point generation tool."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/comments/70441423","html_url":"https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/pull/1242#issuecomment-70441423","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/1242","id":70441423,"user":{"login":"pnorman","id":1190866,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1190866?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/pnorman","html_url":"https://github.com/pnorman","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pnorman/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pnorman/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pnorman/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pnorman/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pnorman/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pnorman/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pnorman/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pnorman/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pnorman/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-01-19T03:07:35Z","updated_at":"2015-01-19T03:07:35Z","body":"Some more examples\r\n\r\n[streams](http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/49.3430/-122.7430)\r\n![image](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/1190866/5795300/e380c320-9f41-11e4-8dfc-96f4b3aa36ae.png)\r\n\r\n[lower-zoom footways](http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=14/49.1745/-122.8229)\r\n![image](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/1190866/5795310/2b2b9b14-9f42-11e4-887b-a9d9cdd6dc3e.png)\r\n\r\n[narrow woods and military/wood combo](http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=14/49.1595/-123.1026)\r\n![image](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/1190866/5795426/d92cea22-9f44-11e4-9c23-6c54452af4a5.png)"}}
