So what is wrong with Merkaartor currently?

You should post it on rebuild list: http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/rebuild

You also might need to bypass your browsers cache (shift+reload on firefox; ctrl+reload on IE, chrome).

These two ways seem to be deleted quite recently. It takes some time for all zoom levels to rerender. On most zoom levels this way is already gone and soon all levels will be ok.

I have done some Telcom IP remapping from which I can say that this area has very very few gps tracks. As it is half impossible to align bing aerials without any tracks then there is no easy way for non local mappers to help with initial road network.

You do not need to make one long way to cover one track(road). You can make several shorter ways that are connected to each other and have same tags. Also most tracks have different road conditions in different parts (see: tracktype)

For big lakes you can use multipolygon relations. Basically you make several ways around the lake that are connected to each other. Then you make one relation that has these ways as members and add needed tags to relation.

You can read about multipolygons on multipolygons page One example of lake that is created using multipolygon relation: Harku järv

PS! Realtions may be hard to figure out at the beginning.

Good luck mapping!

You can follow the discussion of DB rebuild on rebuild list. Currently there seems to be nothing definete (exept the fact that rebuild will take place as soon as everything is OK).

Tere,
tore näha, et Haapsalu ka detailselt kaardile tekib.

See, et sa muudad kellegi tehtud asju, on täiesti normaalne. Eesti territooriumil leidub näiteks teelõike, mida on muudetud üle paarikümmne korra, ning see on igati normaalne.

Kõige mõtekam on viitamist teha, lisades muudatustekogumile mingi sildi. Merkaartori puhul on selleks comment silt, millele saab väärtuse anda muudatustekogumi üleslaadimisel. Kommentaariks on algselt automaatselt genereeritud tekst stiilis: "BBOX:23.49,58.94,23.59,58.96 ADD:3 UPD:2 DEL:0" see tekst tuleks asendada millegi mõtekamaga. Selleks võiks olla muudatustekogumi paarisõnaline kirjeldus ning viide Maa-Ametile (või muule allikale).

Suure tõenäosusega oled sa praeguseks juba leidnud Eesti kommuuni listi ülesse, kuid igaks juhuks, kui sa pole selle otsa sattunud: http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ee

PS! Kas sul merkaartori sisene otsing toimib? Juhul kui sa varem seda kasutanud pole, siis salvesta ennem igaks juhuks muudatused ja siis proovi.

Meeldivat kaardistamist,

Mihkel Rämmel

There is no international border between high and low voltage lines. For example in Estonia we have 4 voltages for high voltage lines. 330kV, 220kV, 110kV and 35kV. Below that voltage are low voltage lines.

It seems that you use Potlatch 2 for editing. If this is correct then you can manually type in values by clicking on advanced button on the lower left corner of window. For information what key-value pairs to use see: osm.wiki/Map_Features#Power
One detailed example exists on this page: osm.wiki/Power_lines
For all tags currently in use see: http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/

You will soon understand that there are many things that are not 100% clear in the power section. It just takes time for everything to settle down. Probably because there are not many who map power related things.

AleHop72 have you searched the wiki?

osm.wiki/Project_of_the_week/2011/May_04 gyms
shop=deli delicatessen shop
Fitness centre might be : leisure=sports_centre (it really depends on what do you mean by fitness centre).

What you don't find in a wiki might be still already in use! Use http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/ to search through all tags that are used.

Just delete these excess tags and see whether it gets better. Also please inform that user who added these meaningless tags (otherwise you might see more such roads in the future).

If this path/track/footway it is really not connected to anything else (which in rare cases happens) then mark this error as false positive in keep right. Keep right, OSM inspector, etc. all give you only hints what may be wrong. Determining whether it is really wrong or not is up to you.

It's still spam that gets deleted (no mater how you try to promote it).
