Hi,
As user_5121 says this edit moved a few nodes of Hatfield Road, but also extends to a corner of Luzon Island in the Philippines. We've had to change things back to what they were. No problem with that, everyone takes time to get to grip with editing.

I wondered however if you live close to St Albans along the Hatfield Road? The reason is that it's possible that you accidentally clicked a button which move the edit window to your current location. I'd be interested to know because this may be a behaviour that the editor should warn about if the distance is long.

Best wishes,

Jerry

Thanks, was just about to do that myself

The Furness Road Allotment site still looks pretty " allotmenty" on the latest Bing imagery

You were right it must be a StreetComplete thing. I used a rather too large bbox & found a couple of hundred round London & adjacent areas. I've added the 30 mph to them, will follow up with StreetComplete shortly.

Any chance of checking the speed limit on Cleveland St, South of Maple Street. In April 2014 this was 20 mph. (Just going through some StreetComplete speed limits which have just added maxspeed:type & not maxspeed & realised I had photos of the area).

Hi Thomas,

I've been adding 30 mph to those marked as nsl:GB_restricted, so its only those with single which matter. I may do all of these in one go today. In some countries I think they just put national urban speedlimit without an explicit value, but consensus in UK was to be explicit with maxspeed:type to privide further info. StreetComplete's main developer is German so some of this may have been lost in original discussions with them over UK speed.limits. In general they are extremely conscientious, taking great care over tag values for quests (there's an arcane thread on the forum about cobbles & setts).

You'll notice me making a few other minor changes around Ruislip as I hunt for rooftop solar panels. For instance I'm adding footway = sidewalk to pavements and splitting these at crossings where the footway tag changes to "crossing". Also a bit of road realignment based on modern imagery & OSGB open data.

Best wushes,

Jerry

Hi,

Very belated query, but you seem to have added maxspeed:type=GB:nsl_single on all of these roads. I dont suppose for a minute that these have 60 mph limits, so I assume you meant nsl_restricted for 30 mph. I can fix thisnif you confirm that is the case.

Dear TL5100,

You have only made a small number of edits but a surprising large proportion have been seriously problematic.

This is one step beyond: deleting a prominent London building from a database used by millions of people is vandalistic behaviour.

Please desist from this type of edit in the future. The data when changed is immediately available to everyone: you are not manipulating a private copy.

Yours,

The area was clearly farmland back in October 2018 when I was there (and made a few edits). It's a fairly popular tourist site, but much of the tourism is promoted by Battlefield Farm (which AFAIK farms all the land). There's more tourist infrastructure at the farm site (cafe, shops). The paths largely follow field edges so they have relatively low impact on farming activity.

I think the cut-off was around 1 MW. There are quite a lot of other installations in repd but Jez wasnt interested in them initially. At some stage we'll probably start going through them. As a consequence this cut-off is also pretty much the effective limit for power=plant. Also not every one appears in the REPD database: there are quite a few on United Utilities land (& water) which apparently dont appear in the database.

Details are at osm.wiki/Renewable_energy_in_the_United_Kingdom#List_of_just_constructed_and_operational_UK_Ground_Mounted_Solar_Farms (which suggests there may be some ones which were under construction which are now completed.

Hi,

There was an error in my mapping, but your edits compounded it. In fact the highway=residential should have been landuse=residential. A good clue was that as a road it did not correspond to any aerial imagery. I've now corrected it & removed the road added to fix the non-existent island.

Josm doesnt have great support for full range of solar tags, but there are plenty of examples about to copy from. I've added the typical tags. In general we use generator as you have in this case for these smaller solar farms, although there is an increasing tendency to map the inividual arrays of panels (extrude makes this very easy) and rely on geographical proximity for clustering. Usually they are fenced so its useful to add if there is one. Larger solar farms are all now mapped as power=plant which allows groups of panels to be mapped as generators as well.

Hi,

Did you parse the inscription on the plaque? Road distances in Britain are not measured in kilometres (other than safety markers on motorways), and the plaque is unnamed. In practice the site of the final Eleanor's Cross is more significant (as it was this which formed the basis for milestones).

Not Brockenhurst, but New Milton

See how these happened, for some reason the key field got focus not the tag field when overwriting in advanced editor. The numbers should have replaced the number in the tag field. Now fixed.

Responding here, rather than your note.

Wow, these are ancient designations for cycle lanes. I think the current standard is left and right based on the direction of the way (which is why they dont show up on OpenCycleMap). A quick check on Mapillary (https://www.mapillary.com/map/im/VwKbr0t80PYrHY05pYgTMA) suggests that cycle lanes only exist on part of Aspley Lane (e.g, on N side from the Beacon towards Broxtowe Lane junction all in parked car door zone). Of course there could be recent active travel developments, but ones round me (near QMC) are still rudimentary.

Hi Humez,

I think when I started mapping them I was doing this, but after a while we decided it was useful information so created a specific tag., and this is tracked on Gregory Williams site (see column "has module count" http://osm.gregorywilliams.me.uk/solar/northampton.html). The good thing is that the information is at least collected.

Before the imagery wasnt often good enough, but now most panels can be counted.

Jerry

Hi Humez,

Did you know that there is a tag generator:solar:modules which is used to store a count of the number of solar modules making up a panel? If you scroll down to the advanced tag editor in iD it will autocomplete the value if you type "gener" but watch for "generator:place" too.

Regards,

Jerry aka SK53

Hi Guy,

I've added module count to the 2 solar panels and tweaked the direction a bit. I dont know if you are aware but we now favour the tag "direction" rather than "generator:orientation": one obvious benefit is that iD will show it directly. I've therefore added the direction tag with the same info.

HTH,

Jerry aka SK53
