| 66902014 | almost 7 years ago | Are you sure the gas station you added to Goodsprings is in the right place? I'm not seeing anything gas-station-like in the aerial imagery, and it doesn't fit the usual pattern of where people build gas stations. |
| 66888547 | almost 7 years ago | The "apartment complex" tag is meant to go around the entire area - buildings, parking, garages, lawn, and all. There's also an "apartment building" tag for the actual building. |
| 66883578 | almost 7 years ago | I've only got one or maybe two pictures of the large open area of Holmberg from my last visit, but they show it as being grass-covered rather than heath-like. |
| 66814343 | almost 7 years ago | Please don't abbreviate names. It's easy for a computer to create an abbreviation if it needs to save space, but almost impossible to expand an already-abbreviated one. For example, should "ST" be expanded to "Street", "Saint", or "State"? |
| 66742356 | almost 7 years ago | I don't suppose you could do this on a smaller scale, perhaps state-by-state? It would make it easier to double-check things. |
| 66716644 | almost 7 years ago | Welcome to OSM! I noticed you removed a police station in Toronto. If the building is still present, the best way to indicate that it's no longer a police station is to re-tag it as a plain "building". |
| 66669642 | almost 7 years ago | I don't know if you're aware of it or not, but there's a quick way to make good-looking building outlines: once you're done tracing and tagging a building, you can highlight it and hit the "S" key to square the corners up. It makes it easy to get precise right-angled corners. |
| 66554307 | almost 7 years ago | When you're adding parking lots, please don't glue them to buildings like you did here. Even if it looks like they run up against each other, it usually turns out, when better imagery becomes available, that they don't. |
| 66492211 | almost 7 years ago | When I drove through there a couple years ago, MT-200 left the interstate at exit 109, not exit 107. Has that changed? |
| 66350836 | almost 7 years ago | What imagery did you use for the North Spokane Costco? The most recent I'm aware of (ESRI) just shows a construction site, not the details you've added. |
| 66314999 | almost 7 years ago | Welcome to OSM! When you're adding a road to the map, make sure it's connected to the other roads. You can tell this by the presence of a small grey dot at the point of crossing. I've fixed the north end of this alley, but it's something to keep in mind in the future. |
| 66267132 | almost 7 years ago | I'm not aware of any law that states that you're not allowed to turn from one dead-end street to another. For that matter, I'm not aware of any law that makes a "Dead End" sign anything but an advisory notification. Could you point out where in the Revised Code of Washington I can find this? I suspect it would be somewhere in Title 46 ("Motor Vehicles") or Title 47 ("Public Highways and Transportation"). |
| 66112736 | almost 7 years ago | A couple of mapping tips: 1) Once you've drawn something, you can square up the corners to a perfect 90 degrees by right-clicking on it and selecting "Square" from the menu, or by hitting the "S" key. 2) You can change which background imagery you're using by clicking on the "Background Settings" tab (the one that looks sort of like three stacked sheets of paper) and selecting which imagery you want. In the Sandpoint area, it looks like "DigitalGlobe Standard" is the newest but blurriest, "Esri World Imagery (Clarity)" is the oldest and sharpest, and the default "Bing" imagery is an average. The grassland you added here looks like it's been partly built-over in the DigitalGlobe Standard imagery. |
| 66058596 | almost 7 years ago | Esri claims a maximum imagery alignment error for the urban parts of Spokane County of no more than 0.4 meters: https://www.arcgis.com/home/webmap/viewer.html?webmap=c03a526d94704bfb839445e80de95495, and comparing against Strava heatmap data says they're right. |
| 66009901 | almost 7 years ago | You're missing my point: the previous tagging carried more information than the current one does. |
| 66058596 | almost 7 years ago | Are you using an imagery offset? These building outlines are consistently about seven feet southeast of where unadjusted imagery puts them. |
| 66009901 | almost 7 years ago | In your experience, perhaps, "car repair" inherently implies oil changes. But I'm aware of one "car repair" shop that *only* does transmission rebuilds, and a number of body shops that aren't even able to handle oil or other fluids. Further, almost all car-repair shops around me will only do inspections as part of the initial evaluation before servicing a car. If you need a general roadworthiness inspection, you'll need to go to a specialist. |
| 66035372 | almost 7 years ago | Please don't add things to the map if they don't exist. If you're trying to attract Pokemon, natural features such as woods, streams, and ponds are always a good bet, and I see a number of those nearby that haven't yet been mapped. |
| 65819799 | almost 7 years ago | "cycleway=shared_lane" should only be used when there are actual lane markings indicating that a lane is used by both bicycles and automobiles: osm.wiki/Proposed_features/shared_lane |
| 65819218 | almost 7 years ago | I'm not sure how useful it is to add "bicycle=yes" to most of these roads. The default for routing in the USA (osm.wiki/OSM_tags_for_routing/Access-Restrictions#United_States_of_America) is that bicycles are permitted on everything except footways and motorways. Adding "bicycle=designated" to signed bicycle routes is useful, as is adding "bicycle=yes" to the sections of interstate that permit bicycling. |
