| 167934040 | 6 months ago | Owyhee County is starting to look pretty awesome! I'm curious: if I mapped all the addresses in Canyon County, would that encourage you to map farms and landuse there too? |
| 167663698 | 7 months ago | Trying a new approach where I map all the crossings first, then the sidewalks. I'm hoping it will reduce the time spent switching between continuing different ways. |
| 164828822 | 7 months ago | I have also corrected the ZIP code on buildings 2 and 3, after confirming with the county addressing and post office. |
| 167282336 | 7 months ago | Thank you for adding the new traffic pattern. Avoid abbreviating names in OSM. Directionals and suffixes should be spelled out (East Karcher Road). The roundabout should not have a name at all. |
| 166624507 | 7 months ago | When you remove the predirectional, you need to tag the full name in name:full. |
| 166904199 | 7 months ago | This is a private residence. You cannot visit an amenity here. It is just the owner's mailing address. It should be removed in full. |
| 166898102 | 7 months ago | They're all streams and you can still map them. You can add the tag intermittent=yes. |
| 166604149 | 7 months ago | It indicates both the direction of the road and its location relative to the address grid. Combined with the address you can determine a lot about the location. Take it up with the fire department, as that's ultimately the decisive force in many naming decisions. |
| 166604149 | 7 months ago | Note that predirectionals are used for purposes other than disambiguation. In this case, for wayfinding. |
| 166604149 | 7 months ago | The predirectional should be used if reported by county GIS. In this case, South Grand Central Parkway is correct. |
| 166624371 | 7 months ago | That is troubling and I am sorry to hear that. However, many of the driveways that you removed were already tagged as private, reflecting reality. It is unlikely that bikers are trespassing due to the presence of properly marked driveways on the map. I ask that you restore the driveways you deleted and add the proper access designation to them (access=private) if it is not already present. OpenStreetMap is not responsible for misuse of its data by downstream consumers. Please note that the absence of driveways on the map encourages armchair mappers (without local knowledge) to add the driveways again based on satellite photography without knowledge of the access restrictions, which can have the opposite of the intended effect. On the other hand, properly marked private driveways can assure bicyclists that they are not allowed on the routes without permission from the property owner. This system is set up to protect property rights while also maintaining an accurate dataset. If you need assistance reverting the deletions in this changeset, I would oblige. If you would like additional explanation as to why we don't delete roads on private property, the OpenStreetMap Wiki is a good reference. osm.wiki/Why_we_won%27t_delete_roads_on_private_property |
| 166624371 | 7 months ago | Do none of these homes have a driveway as mapped? |
| 166503298 | 7 months ago | We have long understood the flaw in the software you use for course design. Have the developer fix the tool instead of making wrong edits to the map. OSM doesn't use splines, but polygons, by the way. Knowingly making wrong edits to the map is vandalism. I will ask you just once to under no circumstances add "lollipops" to the map. I am happy to have any number of other users and/or mods reiterate the same if you won't take it from me. |
| 166503298 | 7 months ago | Don't lollipop features in the first place. The solution to flaws in your golf tool is not to damage data quality for everyone else for any length of time. |
| 126034827 | 7 months ago | OSM doesn't use legal classifications because they are different in every state. Treating them the same is comparing apples to oranges. The population/amenity based definition means that a place=city in Saskatchewan means roughly the same thing as in Louisiana. I'm sorry you don't like it. |
| 126034827 | 7 months ago | This is how it works on OSM. |
| 166502399 | 7 months ago | When was the parking lot torn down? |
| 165093021 | 8 months ago | Galleria Drive is never South or Southwest. It is West all the way to Russell. |
| 166154891 | 8 months ago | building=terrace and building:part=house for individual units would be more appropriate here since the units aren't stacked |
| 149292266 | 8 months ago | The official map calls the larger track the "Road Track" and the smaller one the Slick/Rookie Track. Do signs on site indicate otherwise? |
