Hello. Thanks for mapping.
I am sorry to say, but the majority of the round objects you mapped are trees.
Double check on Google earth and search for this location

Hello. Thanks for mapping on this project.
One of the validator jobs is to reviews the taggings of highways . Experience learns that traces of highways are regularly wrong tagged.

How to decide when a trace is a path or an unclassified highway (main choices in rural areas)
First, look what they connect. Houses, settlements, villages. Then measure the width of that trace.

In iDeditor

Shortcut : Ctrl+⇧ Shift+M – toggle opens measurement panel
Draw a line between the shoulders of a trace (zoom in very far) and read the distance.
If a trace is max 2 meters wide, tag it as a path. Use footway only in urban (town) areas.
Wider and connect hamlets, houses and villages should be tagged as unclassified.
Tag residential in urban areas (villages, towns)

In JOSM, use the measure tab or, draw a circle (round building, shortcut Alt-Z when the building plugin is installed)) between the shoulders of a trace and read the distance on the lower toolbar. (don't map that bulding)

osm.wiki/East_Africa_Tagging_Guidelines
This is mentioned about tracks on the
osm.wiki/Routing#Routing_considerations

Quote: Tracks are roads of agricultural purpose. They usually connect fields to farms. The surface sometimes makes them inaccessible for regular cars, or at least limits the speeds to a very slow pace. Tagging a trace as 'track' should always be avoided for through-going traffic, access to houses/farms or within urban areas.

Important. Please connect highways to each other, where obvious, to get a network which can be used by GPS NAV systems.

The main issue and causing much extra work for validators is your choice of how to tag highways and connecting them to each other.

Hello. Thanks for mapping.
Please do not include the shadow of a building into a mapping and square each rectangular building.

Hello. Thanks for mapping.
The default tag for buildings - building=yes
Please square also each building !

Hello . Thanks for your contribution to this project.
You retagged a number of paths into highway=unclassified.
Why ? The tag path was correct. Less than 2 mtr wide !
Best regards

Hallo Johan.
Je tagt hier heel smalle paden als highway=unclassified.
Daar zijn ze te smal voor. Path is een betere keus.
Hetzelfde voor de paden die je getagt hebt als track.
Kijk ook hier nog een naar.

Hello. Thanks for mapping.
You added here a layer to a highway +1 . This not a flyover. Did you try to hide an error ? Solve the issue rather than adding a layer.
Best regards

Hello. Thanks for mapping.
You overlooked a number of small buildings and paths.
Please do not map paths through buildings. In reality, they don’t either.
