I think you've got a short-circuit in the roundabout: someone going from westbound Kennedy Road to northbound Webber Canyon Road won't get "take the first exit from the roundabout" in their driving directions.

If you're going to be adjusting road geometry in Spokane County, please use the "Esri World Imagery" option. It's newer, sharper, and better-aligned than the Bing imagery.

The 1100 west block of Park Place is somewhat to the southwest of where you added this. I've moved your business to my best guess for the correct location.

If the businesses are no longer in operation, you should also remove the business-type tagging. Right now, the former Spirit and Food Mart will show up on the map as an unnamed gas station and convenience store.

The correct way to indicate that a golf course is private is to add the "access=private" tag, not to change what sort of thing it's tagged as.

Welcome to OSM! A few suggestions for better mapping:

First, you can change the background imagery using the "Background settings" tab (the one that looks a little like three stacked sheets of paper). In the Spokane area, the "Esri World Imagery" option is far sharper than the default Bing imagery.

Second, there's a shortcut for making your building corners look good: trace the building more-or-less correctly, then hit the "S" key to square the corners up.

Third living streets are virtually unheard-of in the United States -- they're pretty much a purely European concept. The road into the Parkside Apartments is better tagged as a "driveway".

And fourth, don't add made-up things to the map for the purpose of attracting Pokemon. It just annoys those of us who work on keeping the map accurate. There are plenty of real things you can map instead.

Happy mapping!

Please don't add nonsense to the map. There's no shortage of real things you could map instead.

Did you make a mistake here? A cycleway that forbids bicycle usage strikes me as rather improbable.

58421536 over 7 years ago

Is there a reason you deleted this driveway?

58417916 over 7 years ago

Could you please pay better attention to what you're doing? About half the object you tagged as an "unclassified road" is actually an intermittent stream, while the other half is a farm track.

58388148 over 7 years ago

Thanks for adding that to the map.

A tip for future editing: you can change the background imagery using the "Background Settings" tab (the one that looks a little like three stacked sheets of paper). In the Spokane County area, the "Esri World Imagery" option is far sharper than the default Bing background.

58355618 over 7 years ago

When you're editing in Spokane County, *please* use ESRI World Imagery. It's far sharper and better-aligned than Bing, and I think it's slightly newer, as well.

58333571 over 7 years ago

Thanks for your additions.

In case you haven't noticed, you can change the background imagery in the "Background settings" tab (the one that looks sort of like three stacked sheets of paper). In the Spokane County area, the "Esri World Imagery" option is far sharper than the default Bing imagery.

Are you sure the aerial photos here are correctly aligned? The images tend to get stretched in misleading ways in hilly areas.

Looking at the available imagery options, about half of them say the old alignment was correct, while the other half agree with the new alignment. There aren't many GPS traces available, but what there is generally lines up better with the old alignment.

58007570 over 7 years ago

Whatever you're trying to do, it isn't working. You're adding payment information to things that aren't businesses, such as a random point on a road.

57978041 over 7 years ago

Could you please be more careful in your editing? You dragged pieces of the Lewiston city limits across the map at least twice in this changeset.

57976724 over 7 years ago

I sure hope you got this right, since there's no way a changeset this big can be properly reviewed. In particular, there's a good chance you've misattributed some things named after Martin Luther, the Protestant reformer, as being named after Martin Luther King Jr., the civil rights activist. (And for that matter, there might be one or two things named after Martin Luther King Sr., the Baptist minister).

57819875 over 7 years ago

I don't know if you've noticed it yet, but you can change which background imagery you're using by clicking the "Background settings" tab (the one with an icon that looks sort of like three stacked sheets of paper). Different imagery sets are newer, or sharper, or better-aligned than others.

In the area where you're mapping, "DigitalGlobe Premium" looks especially good for buildings: once you zoom in far enough, it switches from blurry satellite images to aerial images sharp enough to see the shingles on the roofs.

57678628 over 7 years ago

It looks like the old mapping of those buildings was an attempt to use the "Simple 3D buildings" system (osm.wiki/Simple_3D_buildings), but they didn't get it quite right.

57523509 over 7 years ago

Is there a reason why you say this has an elevation of 503 *meters* rather than 503 *feet*? The USGS topo map for the area, in particular, shows this as being surrounded by a 500-foot contour line.
