| 103074489 | over 4 years ago | The logic I was following is the mapping of the built-up area of the agglomeration, so independently of administrative boundaries (which I usually filter out in JOSM - because I have no information about them, so I don't touch them). Aligning residential areas with administrative boundaries is a possibility - albeit a rare practice, but they are usually independent because, contrary to the residential areas, the administrative boundaries are not directly observable and land uses are usually not aligned with them. Agglomerations typically extend well beyond official city limits and the contrary exists too when only part of an administrative circumscription is built up. The wetlands are a different story. I excluded them from that relation because I observed on orbital imagery that in Kampala they almost always correspond to the boundary of built-up areas - and you explained why this is the most common case. But of course residential areas encroaching on wetlands are a common occurrence - for example in the last twenty years Dakar has had terrible problems with that, although the situation is improving. So, yes - while aligning landuse=residential with wetland boundaries was a practical expedient for a first approach to mapping Kampala's urban area, it is by no means the last word and finer description is superior... But this has to start somewhere and the lack of a landuse=residential to encompass Kampala's built up extent is troubling. |
| 103074489 | over 4 years ago | You mean relation/12571016 ? This is standard practice everywhere - look at Conakry here: osm.org/#map=12/9.6143/-13.5630 - or anywhere else really. Yes, it is the norm in Paris too: relation/1988489, relation/10967048 and relation/10837210 for example. landuse=residential says: "The landuse tag is mostly used for larger areas and not at parcel granularity". It represents the extent of the agglomeration. Inside, there is room for detail such as place=neighborhood, landuse=industrial etc. Of course More granularity would be even better, and this could be broken down to smaller pieces - but mapping the agglomeration is the standard Openstreetmap way to start that process. |
| 103903173 | over 4 years ago | This building does not correspond to recent imagery. What imagery are you using ?

| 103482789 | over 4 years ago | Hello. All these buildings are false - please delete them. What old imagery are you using ?

| 103278241 | over 4 years ago | Thanks for adding this feature. I complemented your entry by adding religion=christian, which makes it a church. If you are so inclined, you can even add a denomination - cf. denomination=*#Christian_denominations

| 103091585 | over 4 years ago | Are there really two Internet cafés West of Total ? Or is that a duplicate ?
|
| 103063239 | over 4 years ago | I would be curious to see a from-the-ground picture of this unmarked highway crossing.

| 103036724 | over 4 years ago | > C'est un import automatique qu'on ne peut pas adapter autrement Accordons le bénéfice du doute: disons il s'agit d'incompétence plutôt que de pur foutage de gueule. Dites à votre fournisseur d'outils que l'adaptation est possible, demandez-lui un devis et si vous avez un doute demandez-nous conseil ! |
| 103025544 | over 4 years ago | Are you sure that those buildings are not orthogonal ? On the imagery they look orthogonal to me...
