Hello Kyran, Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

In case you were not aware the is guidance on golf course tagging here :-https://tinyurl.com/yamksxc4

There is a problem with how you've mapped the water features, please see here :-https://tinyurl.com/y7cb88yh
It looks like you tried to draw areas in a linear fashion. This results in the problem of self intersection.

If the water hazard is an area (pond, lake) it should be mapped as a polygon and tagged natural=pond or lake. Tag as golf=water_hazard or golf=lateral_water_hazard, I think now both tags mean the same thing, please see :-https://tinyurl.com/ydcjhxhz

If the water is a narrow stream, ditch or drain it's mapped as a single line, (linear feature) and tagged to suit, waterway=stream or ditch. Please have regard to the direction of water flow. Even though a linear feature this can be tagged golf=water_hazard or golf=lateral_water_hazard

The wiki also advises tagging grass as surface=grass rather than landuse=grass.

If you need help amending the self intersections please just ask.
Regards Bernard.

I've moved the bins off of the highway center line so folk don't fall over them.

Hi, I want to let you know that in deleting the footpath around Peto's Marsh you have broken the linear route relation of the Via Beata long distance path. You have also deleted other existing features. Please be aware that you ought to strive to maintain all existing features on OSM when you make amendments. If the Via Beata way has changed have you tried to ascertain it's new route? If you need help amending the route relation please just ask.
Regards Bernard.

Moved area off of the road center line, it doesn't extend to there.

All Coop data placed on building rather than duplicating it with a POI

Removed the access=no from footpath.
Un-joined highway nodes from un-associated area outlines.
Squared up buildings.

OK I've removed your duplicated section of footpath.

Hi, I extended the path to join Springs Road, it looks logical but if I'm wrong please amend or let me know the situation.

Regards Bernard.

Hi Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

I've removed the section of your new path that was placed on top of the old railway line. I updated that section of railway line with your footpath data.

Regards Bernard.

Hi, Welcome to OpenStreetMap.
I made the cycleway and old railway same line, removed layer and building tag from the garden center area. Also split the lake into two at the causeway.

Correction to building tags

correction to spelling

Hi Welcome to OpenStreetMap.
I just wanted to let you know that in the absence of a oneway=no tag OSM takes it as implied that the way is not oneway. So in most cases the oneway=no tag is not needed.

Regards Bernard.

My apologies for being blunt with my comments I never meant to put out a condescending tone, merely to point of facts.

I did actually remove the two POI but you have added them back.

Sayers Court is named and the label will appear once OSM has re-rendered at all zoom levels. The other buildings south and east of Sayers Court are not named so will not be labelled.

Your input is in no way humble indeed it is very well intentioned, unfortunately it isn't to OSM best practice and will not have the effect you desire.

Regards Bernard.

If you click on the links I sent you'll see one goes to Sayers Court https://tinyurl.com/ybc5jrsq

The other goes to Lexden Place https://tinyurl.com/ybk9vdsg

The link you posted above correctly routes from in the shortest manner from 51.88992, 0.85812 on Lexden Road to 51.89005, 0.84778 a point on the service road front of Sayers Court building. There is nothing wrong with the routing.

The problem you are experiencing is that when routeing to a point that is not on a highway, most if not all routeing software will jump to a point on the nearest highway to the end point. Your two POI will have no more influence over this fact than the two buildings.

Regards Bernard.

Duplicated information, as you've been told before, more than this information is on the building outline. These POI do absolutely nothing to resolve the problems with routeing.

The tag tourism=apartment is used to map a holiday or vacation apartment, so your POI is doubly false and misleading.

84562084 over 5 years ago

Hi, These are private apartment blocks, nothing at all to do with tourism and also the POI are incorrectly placed. The fuller and correct information is on the mapped buildings so there is no need to duplicate the information on POI's.

OSM must reflect ground truth it must not be used as a means to correct defective routeing software. Depending on the routeing software in use it may take a long time before the updated buildings are used for the routing. Features in OSM must be verifiable, the data in these two POI are not verifiable. The routeing on the OSM front page to Sayers Court https://tinyurl.com/ybc5jrsq is correct. The routeing to Lexden Place https://tinyurl.com/ybk9vdsg is correct.

If you know the incorrectly routeing software please direct a complaint to them.

Regards Bernard.

Added website from above comment and address to the POI.

Hello Phil,

You made a duplication at the west end between gate an footpath junction. I've amended this so it's OK now.

For the driveway Way: 30635767 access=no can't be correct else how is Lake Lodge accessed, I changed it to access=private.

At the gate to the east end, tagged just barrier=gate does not allow for any access at all! This must at least be access=private, which I've added. However I cannot determine how the designated foot accesses the gate. Do pedestrians pass through the gate? Or is there a separate gate or even a gap for pedestrian access PRoW?

Regards Bernard.

Hi, Yes that's correct, unless one looks up changeset history or scrutinises aerial imagery. The concern is that you've deleted something that is actually there on the ground. Seemingly for singular personal reasons. Another OSM contributor took the trouble to map the crossing and footpath, They may actually have used it, they did in fact upload a GPS trace along the track.There's several more GPS traces along the track as well.
Regards Bernard.
