| 44193358 | about 9 years ago | Please don't abbreviate street names. It's easy enough for a computer to turn a full name into an abbreviated one if it needs to save space, but going the other direction can be difficult or impossible. For example, should "St" be expanded to "Street", or "Saint"? |
| 44166825 | about 9 years ago | I've partially reverted this changeset. The Bing imagery for Sprague is out of date -- the intersection at the northwest corner of the town has been re-worked into a conventional four-way intersection with a driveway coming out of it. |
| 43314846 | about 9 years ago | I don't think it does. Like most national forests, Okanogan-Wenatchee is used for a mix of logging, ranching, mining, hunting, and other things. There are dedicated recreation areas and dedicated wilderness areas, and areas that are de-facto one or the other (generally due to inaccessibility), and it's not all forest. Even as vague as the meaning of "landuse=forest" is, it doesn't make sense to apply it to the whole of a national forest. |
| 44020638 | about 9 years ago | I repeat: is there a reason why you do not consider these roads to be tertiary? |
| 43930461 | about 9 years ago | Re-removed park. Source: I went there, looked, and saw a collection of parking lots. "North Bank Park" isn't the only erroneous park on that map. Mr. Kozlov would be rather upset if you used it as the basis for mapping his house as part of Palisades; similarly, people would be confused if you added "Indian Canyon Park", as the signs all call the area "Palisades Park". It's got one of the better maps of the Riverside State Park boundaries I've seen, but it's still missing at least three inholdings; it also shows "Eunice Road" which, judging from the state of the trees, has been abandoned for at least half a century. Looking at the road network, it shows a group of roads in the area bounded by Ferrall, Wellsley, Market, and Garland; that area was demolished years ago to make way for the North Spokane Connector. It shows Sinto as an alley between Cannon and Elm; I'm sure whoever owns the warehouse there would be rather upset if you drove through their fence. Even ignoring any copyright issues, maps are not accurate depictions of the world. They should not be prioritized over actually looking to see what's there. |
| 43888363 | about 9 years ago | Drove by it today and found several parking lots, but no park. The only place where I've been able to find a park in this area is in the master plan for redevelopment of Riverfront Park, and that's not scheduled to take place until 2018. I've deleted the park. |
| 43888363 | about 9 years ago | ..."North Bank Park"? I've never heard of it, and as far as I can tell, neither has the Parks Department. |
| 43885634 | about 9 years ago | Are you sure Crestline between 11th and 15th doesn't exist? Aerial imagery certainly shows something street-like. |
| 43883676 | about 9 years ago | Not just satellite imagery. I've got a half-dozen photographs of it at various times this year. |
| 43863777 | about 9 years ago | At least one of these still existed in October -- at least in the form of a sign on a store. I didn't check to see if it was still open for business, as I was navigating a busy parking lot at the time. |
| 43649209 | about 9 years ago | The tag would be either Music Store ("shop=music", for a store that sells CDs, vinyl records, etc.), or Music Instrument Store ("shop=musical_instrument", for a store that sells instruments and related things). I don't know if the Maps.Me editor has presets for these, but the iD editor on the OpenStreetMap site does. |
| 43756087 | about 9 years ago | Since you're using the iD editor, you can split a road into two parts by clicking on the road, then shift-clicking on the dot at the appropriate place to split the road (if there isn't one, you can drag the nearest triangle icon on the road to create one). Then, click the "scissors" icon on the menu that appears or hit the "x" key. You can now adjust the parts of the road independently. |
| 43806413 | about 9 years ago | The "name" field should only be used for the name of the object, and nothing else -- computers don't understand that a suffix of "(Closed)" means that a gas station is closed, and so it will still show up in searches. The customary way to indicate that a business has been closed is to stick the "disused:" prefix on the tags that no longer apply. For example, this gas station would be "disued:amenity=fuel", "disused:fuel:diesel=yes", and if the name has been removed from the signs, "disused:name=Conoco". |
| 43785121 | about 9 years ago | Did you mis-type the tags for the signals here? |
| 43780043 | about 9 years ago | When mapping businesses, it's useful to indicate what sort of business it is, to make it easier to find. For example, "Roger's Towing & Recovery", in addition to being a building, is probably also a "car repair shop" (tag "shop", value "car_repair"). |
| 43755847 | about 9 years ago | Thanks for adding speed limits -- it's nice to know I'm not the only one who cares about them. |
| 43674302 | about 9 years ago | Is there a reason why you placed two wastebaskets in apparently-random parts of Area 51? |
| 43658405 | about 9 years ago | "shop=cannabis" is the more-common way of tagging marijuana stores (120+ uses versus 12). I've gone ahead and changed it. |
| 43654600 | about 9 years ago | You're not allowed to use Google Maps as a source for mapping. The data isn't under an open license, and Google could react in legally unpleasant ways to people copying it. |
| 43653855 | about 9 years ago | The more information you can provide about something, the easier it is for people to find it. For example, in addition to marking the building as being a commercial building, you could tag it as a bank, and indicate that it's got an ATM (or not). |
