Either use amenity=delivery_office or amenity=postal_depot not amenity=post_office. The former is probably better, but the latter is more popular. Note in many larger places the delivery office is out of town in an industrial estate: locating them can be difficult they need to be tagged distinctly.

You probably need to reload the page in order to flush the tile cache; it's normally pretty fast (minutes rather than hours).

The historical map shows a path here, but apparently meeting a wall: http://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=19&lat=51.4622&lon=-0.2411&layers=173&b=1. Is that the way it is now, or is there no physical path?

Oh, and a big welcome to OpenStreetMap. It's little tweaks like this which help a lot.

Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

I presume that iTeam is your business. Also assuming you are based at home, you can add craft=computer_repair to make it more searchable. If however you don't want the location to be precise then OSM is perhaps not the best place to put the data in the longer term.

Ballygowan looks to have been mapped quite a long time ago which is why the streets dont align well with the imagery. I've added a couple of other things which hopefully add a little more locally. Changing the name to Belfast Road was a very useful correction too.

Cheers,

More to be done. I dont think many field boundaries got added, all TS-C woods need severe tidying up etc. Lots of unmapped woodland towaards Lurgashall.

A wooden gate; fixed

Wire fence (from photos), now added along with a lot of other features

Welcome to OpenStreetMap. Thanks very much for adding the nature reserve, a welcome addition in Rushcliffe: I didn't know it existed! I've added the pond (from the OS StreetView Layer) and added a link to the parish website page about the Nature Reserve.

The path shown as going through the reserve comes from ancient maps (1940s), Your local knowledge can help us tidy it up.

Yes some are (for instance Nottingham), but majority are not, and Waverley is in Surrey. You have to find OGL sources for Preston for this.

I doubt if planning portals are acceptable either, unless they make data available under an open licence.

There is good open data for Morrisons in the form of Food Hygiene data. So for instance this one http://ratings.food.gov.uk/business/en-GB/726630/Morrisons-Preston (& the petrol station http://ratings.food.gov.uk/business/en-GB/708330/Morrisons-Service-Station-Preston).

You can use gregrs site to see missing stuff http://gregrs.dev.openstreetmap.org/fhrs/district-98.html.

But dont just add stuff willy-nilly; do some kind of double check (best as ground survey) but big new supermarkets on aerial imagery is fine.

I've re-found it! Was on a later photo in my survey. It's now a lamp box outside Sainsbury's which I've now added node/5267960979.

To make life a bit easier, this one node/304456247

I know it's a hell of a long time ago, but I just wondered if you remember anything about the post box on Thomas St, Armagh? Just reviewed my survey images and realised there's no sign of it on the street itself.

54295675 about 8 years ago

Funnily enough that's an easy one leisure=common, see leisure=common. It get's rendered green IIRC.

Hi & welcome to OSM,

I see that you have now added the relevant tag for the playing field from your first edit. Nice to see you getting the hang of it.

In general, it's better not to glue the edges of an area to the roads, but instead align them with the features visible on the aerial imagery. This is because the line representing the road marks the midline and the park/playing field doesn't extend that far. However, it is a commonly used editing shortcut.

I presume the playing field is used by the school. From what I can see on aerial imagery the whole area of the field is not used for this purpose. If that's the case it's better to reduce the size to the football pitch and playground. Both of these can be mapped in addition leisure=playground and leisure=pitch.

I presume you may be a keen Pokemon Go player: people who map parks usually are!

I imagine many streams in the area are a little inaccurate, the OS StreetView layer provides a more accurate background with more streams.

Be warned, editing OSM can also be addictive, and your local area offers lots of potential.

Regards,

Im sorry but I have to revert much of this. This is not a building named OSMF it is a private residence, which happens, for historical reasons to be the registered address for official correspondence.

52485012 about 8 years ago

Looks like it was mentor tag-fiddling changeset/24464842, but I now seem to have changed it to fix (wtf !?)

52485012 about 8 years ago

I dont either & sound mirror isnt spelt correctly.

53710980 about 8 years ago

I've now removed this duplicate.

53710980 about 8 years ago

You seem to have added a duplicate of the Crown Inn at East Rudham in this change, and at the wrong location (one street over). It didnt help that it was already mapped separately as a pub and a hotel. I happened to pass here in mid October and noted the pub at the time.
