Many thanks. Ideally the editors would flag this up.

This edit is totally incorrect & misleading. People use OpenStreetMap for real world important activities, it is not a toy. It will no doubt be reverted, but you must not make such edits in the future.

Hi,

The service roads added here overlap with a solar power generator. I suspect that the imagery used was not necessarily in alignment with existing mapping. I presume you have a filter in the editor which hides some other features and also that the editor does not generate a warning.

Please can you review this with all features enabled.

Thanks,

Looks like it could do with location=submerged & layer=-1 (and possibly wheelchair=no) to bring it in line with node/2941119302

Hi,

I noticed that you mapped rooftop solar panels on a house in Cargreen, but also added an output of 400kW which seems unlikely (4kW might have been intended). Could you check please.

Thanks,

Hi & Welcome to OpenStreetMap,

Judging from your comment these paths are public footpaths. We have an explicit way of marking them which is not directly supported in the online editor.

We use a tag "designation" to describe the legal status of a path with values like "public_footpath. You can add these by scrolling down to the "Tags" section, click the "+" key and start typing designation, it will autocomplete and tab into the next box valid values will appear in the drop down.

We have a number of apps to facilitate mapping rights of way. This is Map the Paths (which shows the local official data, but in this case not compatible with OSM) for this area: https://www.mapthepaths.org.uk/?lat=51.3879786&lon=-2.7815831&zoom=1&mode=0. Other Rights of Way resources can be found here: https://osm.mathmos.net/prow/. There is also a UK-specific map which shows more information (including rights of way) for walkers, this area https://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/map/map.html#zoom=14&lat=51.38774&lon=-2.75989.

I also notice in a later edit you've added two names to a path. You can split a path (right mouse & scissors icon) at any node and then each part of the path can have their own proper name.

Hope these remarks are of some use.

Best wishes,

Jerry aka SK53

Hi,

Thanks for adding a solar panel (node/7593581420), but I think it's more likely to be 3.3kW than 3.3MW! If you're not sure you can just remove that tag or add generator:solar:modules with a count of the individual panels instead.

Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

Thanks very much for your first edit. This is precisely the sort of thing where local knowledge can improve our map & data.

I just wondered one thing. Is it still possible to get to Gadlys Road from Gadlys Street on foot? If it is the two roads can be connected by a footway.

Best wishes,

Sorry for being dense I was looking for a townland in the wrong parish, should be fixed in way/430750207#map=14/52.5556/-8.5299

Ah failed to spot you'd fixed it. No matter have added a few plantations, ringforts & Cistercian Abbey ruins.

Gosh, this goes back to the dim & distant past when the boundaries of Co. Limerick were lines drawn around GNIS import nodes. Will have a quick look, but may not have any memory of what I did before.

Yes, presumably iD added the source_ref when I tried to add source=survey. Fixed

I havent corrected them all because I was unable to run josm on my old laptop, but have just done so now: changeset/84932590

Great, obviously very iffy Wikipedia links could do with sorting too, but that's out of scope

Yes I know perfectly well & I didn't link to the Cebuano junk. Wikipedia links are vastly more useful to actual OSM editors than wikidata ones (the information is more useful, its one click away not multiple clicks away) and wikidata concepts have a nasty habit of not corresponding to OSM ones and are not necessarily easy to validate.

Actually a more reasonable admin entry on Wikipedia is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Anglesey_County_Council. Far more useful than one in Cebuano. I suspect the wikidata entries may need a check.

Presumably this note refers to this changeset note/2179014#map=17/51.26759/-1.08024

Hi Riseleywalk,

Very good to hear about the usage, and pleased of your initiative. There are lots of keen walkers and hikers in the UK OSM Community, so do feel free to tap into our knowledge if you want any advice.

You may also be interested in a map created by one of us for his own personal use which focuses on things walkers want to see. The same area is here https://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/map/map.html#zoom=14&lat=52.25079&lon=-0.47637.

One thing I note is that public rights of way are not marked explicitly. You can use the additional designation tag (you probably have to scroll down to the all tags section of the editor and add it there) which allows to mark a section of path, track or road with the appropriate type of PRoW. This allows (say) for a footpath which starts down a driveway, carries on as a farm track and finally turns into a field track to show all these things. Also we find mapping gates, kissing gates, stiles etc greatly enhances the type of info. Here's another section of SomeoneElse's map https://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/map/map.html#zoom=15&lat=52.9292&lon=-1.61208 which several of us have worked on as described here: https://sk53-osm.blogspot.com/2019/12/2019-new-year-footpath-mapping-lees.html.

Best of luck,

Jerry aka SK53

Reference for anyone (like me) wondering what happened to the cable car http://www.seilbahn-nostalgie.ch/cassons.html

I very much like slightly paved, I immediately have a good feel for it. Its then a matter of judgement whether to go for paved or unpaved.

You will have selected footway in the top panel of the editor. It does the rest setting a load of tag values, but not every value makes sense as a default in the UK. The actual tags that make up this meaning appear lower down. The idea is that a lot of detail is hidden, but that it can be refined.

Street furniture (litter bins, post boxes, benches, grit bins etc) always welcome. I've been slightly surprised by how much I've ended up using such ephemera over the years.
