If you care to look back at way/246072179/history you will see the cricket pitch was mapped to the Australian rules football area... The Australian Rules Football were not mapped .. so the past mapper ignored the football ... but tagged cricket.

Then look at the 'park' mapped within the school .. that was removed and the football and cricket mapped, both of these missing, in the 'Front Oval' area. I not that I missed mapping the long jumps...

All of these exist. Perhaps not the the precision you desire.. but some of them were not mapped at all, the single cricket pitch was mapped to the football .. and the football missing... I think that this is an improvement over what was there before; being

2 AFL pitches
3 cricket pitched - 1 being a change of boundaries
more detail mapping of tennis pitches
new mapping of cricket nets
new mapping of a basketball court...

remove of 'park' within the school grounds .. look like an attempt to map a grassed area.

Think OSM uses the word 'master' for the combined overall route, the smaller bits would not be called 'master' IIRC. But it is going to be a big job. Probably worthwhile.

You could always try JOSM ...

I have been thinking (always a bad sign!) that it would be easier if these routs share the same path that the 'same path' could be a single relation tht the other relations then use. The difficulty is the where they use differing platforms... much simpler where they only have one choice. But that would be a future thing .. busy with other stuf.

I'm not an Id users so cannot give much of a clue for the imagery .. In JOSM there is a tab says 'Imagery' .. click on that and you get a list of what to select.. the DCS is in there..

The reason why I messaged you is to alert you to the error so you don't repeat it .. well other than accidentally. The OSM wiki is fairly good though it does suffer from terse and computer types semantics... and idiots like me editing it.. but over all it is a fair guide, just keep your brains switched on when reading it..

--------------------
You did leave behind somethings that I have cleaned up. Many times it is easier to fix things than let a new person have a go at it.. as it can be complex to describe. Don't worry about it, keep mapping and you'll learn.
Cheers.

Hi
The multipolygon 14549885 (The Terminus?) breaks the rules - outer ways must be disjointed. The outer ways here are joined.

If this is one building then use building:part to map the different parts, but a simple way tagged building=yes etc. See building:part=*
I think the DCS Imagery is better than bing.

That would imply bicycle=dismount.

Don't be afraid of trying things out. 'Control Z' will undo most things. You can also 'save' (upper right tab 'File' then 'save) the work locally to your drive so you don't loose stuff before you try something out... To get back what you saved - upper right 'file' tab 'Open Recent' and select the file name you used.

Don't import unless you know that the information is comparable with OSM requirements! These are very strict, most 'free' CC-BY-SA) sources are not comparable.. The website you linked to is 'for personal use only' so it must NOT be used in OSM. OSM licences its output for any use - including commercial.

What has been entered here for buildings are nodes - single points. You have mapped footpaths as ways .. the same can be done for buildings - the ways must be 'closed' to form a continuous line without gaps. Then you tag the way as, for example, building=house.

Tracktype=grade1 with surface=unpaved...

NO.

tracktype=grade4 ...

125549426 over 3 years ago

Hi
Mapping buildings as simple nodes is quick. But it is better to map them as closed ways, and even better going from building=yes to building=house...

I operate on a very narrow 1%.

Right side bar . relations - select a relation, then at the bottom of that relation window there is an edit button click that - opens a window for the relation .. on the left of that there are a number of buttons .. you want the arrow with the red bubbles beside it .. click on either the up of down arrow and it will sort the way/s you have highlighted. Play with it.. I think I have the descriptions right ... just don't save untill your happy with the result. Or quite without saving. A newer version of JOSN has a rotate function .. I'm keen to see if that does what I want ..

JOSM user here. Makes things like the India Pacific train route much easier! JOSM will automate putting them in order .. then I go through looking at the gaps and filling those in - in this case short sections only, and then redoing the auto sequence, check for gaps .. untill you can get from end to end without gaps .. fairly quick process when the gaps are small. Much harder when gaps are large and there is more than one possible path.

Yes, you look to be more acquainted with it than me, so any errors, by me or others, might get picked up by you.. I hope!

Oh
The Maxar imagery is showing the shelters, so at long last these can be seen.

125547434 over 3 years ago

All yours.

I may have added the vehicle track some time back when the northern route opened .. it was all that was available at the time.

Hi,
I have taken the liberty of making a relation for this trail, See https://hiking.waymarkedtrails.org/#route?id=14531438&type=relation&map=12.0/-14.2056/132.3147

I have separated some of the track at campsites to make the sections work.

122138968 over 3 years ago

I reordered them so as to make the trail continuous and in-sequence. This makes it much easier to spot gaps and 'fix' them.

I have not moved anything out of the relation .. unless it conflicted with the route. There was one bit that uses the bibb track but had a short cycle path off to the side, could have removed the bibb track and included a short section of road there .. but well simpler.
I think the alternatives ( I placed the role 'alternative' on them IIRC) could be moved to the 'alternatives' relation. As for the buildings (shelters) and campsites .. they presently have no formal place in the OSM relation.. not that OSM cannot change ... but I see no one thinking of it.

I'm thinking of walking the bibb track .. and as I was making alterations to it and they both use the same bits occasionally I anted to make certain I did not accidentally destroy the bike relation.

Hi,

Way: Larapinta Trail Section 6 (1090363151) is now not part of the Larapinta Trail relation - instead that now has Way: 1044425939 - a vehicle track... Is that intended? As a walker I'd prefer the narrow path compared to the vehicle track :)

"Relations of type multipolygon are used to represent areas (polygons), typically complex areas with holes inside, or consisting of multiple disjoint areas." The building here are not 'disjointed' so break the rules. See osm.wiki/Relation:multipolygon

Possibly use the site relation osm.wiki/Relation:site ???

122138968 over 3 years ago

Sorry .. I'll try for less gibberish. :)

I have edited the Relation: Munda Biddi Trail (5810814) to make it contiguous. I have moved those ways that are not part of the contiguous sequence to the bottom of the relation and added roles that reflect what I think they are. Possibly they should be in the 'Munda Biddi Alternate Relation' ...

Is that somewhat clearer? Note I am not local nor have I walked the trail as yet .. possibly next year, fingers crossed.

125605790 over 3 years ago

Hi,
Way: 1090713488 looks like it could be a container, not a building. Maxar is usually more upto date than other imagery and does not show the thing.. so a container NOT a building.

Suggest you delete it and any others that have gone!
The DCS Imagery is the most accurate for location in NSW. The changeset source only says 'satellite imagery' ... that does not say which one...
