Building height search #11

Open GalenReich opened 2 months ago

From a Bellingcat Discord community member.

The tool currently offers options to search by building levels, but I've noticed many map contributors often tag height in meters and omit floor count.

There is a workaround: using a custom filter for feature type "any" with OSM Key "height". However, this might not be intuitive for newer users who could benefit most from the tool's simplified interface. Maybe a more accessible preset for height in meters could be considered?
