Mapping in Castrop-Rauxel

Posted by Brian Schimmel on 23 December 2007 in English.

Yesterday I arrived in my former home town Castrop-Rauxel, which in OSM is a white spot until now. I went there by bus, and I am happy to announce, that I could add big parts of the bus line NE 11 (Night Express Line) to the map.

I also noticed that there already were some roads, tagged as highway=residental. The value lacked the 'i' in residential, an thus they were not rendered at all in the map. This was one of the most common errors I made when I was beginning to map, and it seams as I'm not the only one.

I'm only here for a week and have other things to do, but I hope that Castrop will soon evolve as other cities in this area do.

Location: Ickern Süd, Castrop-Rauxel, Kreis Recklinghausen, North Rhine-Westphalia, 44581, Germany
