Hi, please see this page :- osm.wiki/TfL_Cycling_Infrastructure_Database It looks like there has not yet been a decision.

Hi, Re “Legal RoW but access discouraged”

It’s not legal to discourage legal use of a Public Right of Way, to do so would be intimidation. One would have recourse to the Highway Authority to rectify such a situation, and other avenues for recourse if it is the HA causing the intimidation.

It’s not wise to give personal details on the internet. Although this is a genuine site it is open to the world. Regards and Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

Hi, welcome to OpenStreetMap.

A good place to start is here :- https://learnosm.org/en/beginner/id-editor/ this will give you an introduction to the iD editor. You can contact me if you need further help, (click on my name, to send a message).

Hello,

I did comment on your first edit ( changeset/65206194 )to the OSM database but there was no response to the comment so I made lots of correcting edits.

I see you are still adding a lot of un-described areas to the map that match buildings on the aerial imagery. They should be tagged at least as building=yes, the area=yes tag should then be removed. Otherwise they are not rendered, so are of no benefit to OSM or anyone using the database.

The buildings can also be tidied up by zooming right in, you can then correct the outlines, you can also orthogonalize (square up) buildings to make your mapping more professional looking.

Regards Bernard.

You would be better off adding your facility to the OSM database. If you need help just ask.

Hi, how about adding the physical presence of the company to OSM, much better than this advert which will soon disappear down the page. If you need any help just ask.

You would be better of mapping your business to OSM. This advert soon won’t be seen and will be forgotten whereas a mapped feature seen on the map and also then be searched for. If you need any help please just ask.

Hi #UNIQUE MAPPERS TEAM#, it’s often best not to blindly rush ahead to gain good figures.

You may find that you leave behind weird irregular shapes for buildings, some joined where they ought not to be, some separated where they ought to be joined. Occasionally overlapping buildings and buildings joined to highways by one or more corner nodes. Please see here for examples :-osm.org/edit?editor=id&way=604079288#map=19/-13.53986/-71.90392

IMHO it is far better to map a few features very well, (zooming in for precision and accuracy) than to cover an area quickly with poor quality mapping.

Regards Bernard

Hi, this is one you recently edited :- relation/8362652#map=11/39.4707/-8.9449&layers=N it shows OK. Can you link to or give the route relation number for one that doesn’t show please?

Hi, the ditch is joined to the power line at ‘Node: 5354204904’. You’ve also drawn the ditch crossing two cycle ways with no indication how this cross over is achieved, ford, bridge or culvert? Regards Bernard

Many Thanks from one of the sixty!

1crazypj, Hi, sorry to say your changes will not work. I’ll put comments on the changeset. Regards.

Strangely for me the therapy is in fixing problems, there’s great satisfaction in helping folk.

Hello, “Intersections without Junctions” in “Keep right!” shows those problems. Please see here :- https://tinyurl.com/gvoescq As you can see you’ve corrected them.

Hello, using the latest JOSM build (version 10966) and Java (version 1.8.0_102) the copy and paste functions work perfectly, for me. You must first highlight the item to be copied then use either the menu ‘Edit, copy’ function or ‘Ctrl+c’ function.

To paste with menu ‘Edit, paste’ you must first center JOSM to where you want the item to be pasted. If you don’t center/move JOSM background you may well paste one or more copies in the exact spot without noticing. To paste with ‘Ctrl+v’ you must place the cursor/mouse pointer at the place you wish the copy to be and press ‘Ctrl+v’ just once. If you press ‘Ctrl+v’ more than once you get duplicates on the same spot and may not notice them. You can mix your use of the copy/paste functions :- menu ‘Edit, copy’ and ‘Ctrl+v’ work OK as does ‘Ctrl+c’ and menu ‘Edit, paste’ with the appropriate centering of JOSM or positioning of the cursor/mouse pointer.

With two layers copying and pasting between them works exactly the same and I cannot replicate your problem.

Hi, the two nodes you added are not really the sort of thing that OSM should be used for. For a start the nodes are not verifiable on the ground by anyone, (except yourself and maybe your sister). I doubt if the two nodes are actually named “Home” and “Sisters House”. I doubt also if the nodes really are of viewpoints used by tourists. It should therefore be recommended that the nodes be deleted from the database. Regards.

Hi, some of your building are drawn over highways, because you’ve drawn the roof outline when the image is at an angle. After the roof shape has been drawn as an outline, it should be moved to match the location on the ground level. It also looks much better to orthogonalize square shapes. Help on both matters is given here :- osm.wiki/Roof_modelling Regards

Hi, change-set #37448380 is now reverted.

Reverting a chang-set is usually an easy task unless there are conflicts with the data.

Regards Bernard

Hi, changesets #37448565 is reverted

number #37448380 will delete about 1600 objects is this correct?
