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. Peter....

Find attached a patch which maps tag landuse=farmyard to 0x4e (Orchard/Plantation)

Forgive me for asking, but would this not be more appropriate with landuse=farm instead of landuse=farmyard?

According to the definitions in the OSM Wiki, "farm" is to be used for crops and pasture, which is somewhat consistent with Garmin's 0x4e (Orchard/Plantation) polygon. On the other hand, "farmyard" is supposed to be an area with barns and houses with chickens and goats running around. I'm not sure if Orchard/Plantation really fits for this. ;-)

Compare the respective definitions in the Wiki:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:landuse%3Dfarm

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:landuse%3Dfarmyard

What do you think?

I've had the line "landuse=farm [0x4e resolution 18]" in my custom polygons style file for some time, and it seems to work pretty well.
