Hi there,
I’m looking at Curaçao and was checking the boundaries finding that admin_level=8 seems to be pretty nicely tagged. But how can I find the boundary of Willemstadt? Is there a consensus of how to use admin_level=* in Curaçao?
I don’t think there has been discussion about admin_levels in Curaçao. All these boundaries seem to be added by one user based on government information. There is not much information online about administrative divisions in Curaçao. So it’s unclear to me what is tagged with admin_level=8.
You want to find the boundary of Willemstad. The question would be whether Willemstad has a local government with administrative boundaries. If it hasn’t, there won’t be a boundary in OSM.
The admin_level=8-areas in Curacao have a source-tag that says “basiskaart.gobiernu.cw” which is actually a URL [1]. I couldn’t open the map viewer nor could I find any information about the license.
I honestly couldn’t find anything on the website. Is there anybody capable to write a dutch E-Mail (I don’t speak dutch, sorry) and would mind asking wether we can use those maps for OSM?
