Humm in Australia we have ‘Show grounds’ .. these usually hold an annual agricultural show with some amusement rides for children. At other times the main ‘arena’ is also used for sporting matches, rodeos and some are used for tourist camping. Fair list of them in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Showground Kent show ground in UK mapped as a tourist=attraction Way: Kent Showground (91401877) Newark Show ground in UK mapped as a tourist=attraction Way: Newark Showground (178396540) West Mids Show ground in UK mapped as a amenity=showground Way: West Mids Showground (48473181) Ingliston Show ground in UK mapped as a landuse=grass {idiocy} (100122713) Way: Ingliston Showground (100122713)

Lots of inconsistency here. Possibly owing to the varied purposes to which they are put, and the resulting things found there.

HI, Take a look at osm.wiki/East_Africa_Tagging_Guidelines. I think the photos add a lot to the page - you can quickly see the differences. They also cover both country and city areas. I do love the one with the elephant.

If data consumers need to have bus=yes and public_transport=platform to highway=bus_stop then let them add it as part of there filtering. Yes you can argue that ‘bus platforms’ exist .. but I’d simply don’t map them .. there is far too much to do without that. Fail to see why you need the platform when you have the stop, that is close enough for people to use.

Keep it simple .. for stupid people like me.

I have four PT v2 routes that I keep an eye on. They have the bear minimum to satisfy OSMinspector and one other QA tool. I’m not going to add anything to them. They do get broken occasionally by well intended other mappers from time to time, but that is life.

I am yet to do a diary entry on them .. and post it off to ‘my’ local mailing list so others can see how to do it - the easy way without any unnecessary additions. There are quite a few broken PT v2 routes .. they are simply PT v1 routes with the primary tag changed and little else as far as I can see. So making a simple guide as to how to fix them will be my contribution to getting others to fix them. At least it may help reducing the number of times they get broken. :)

Which imagery is ‘best’ will depend on where you are in the world. And ‘best’ may change depending on what is wanted - most up to date, best resolution or best alignment. You certainly need to use more that one image, best if you look at all of them for each new area so you can asses them and make your own choice.

If that is what they are doing .. then I too would go to the DWG.

I take it you have contacted them to ask.. and they have responded.. and there is no resolution. If they don’t respond .. then DWG No resolution ..that then should be done through the local OSM community - a majority decision.

Many areas local to me .. and some not so local lack building outlines.. and addresses. I am targeting the CDB of places where tourist go, adding both building outlines and addresses as I think those will be of the most use of my time and best appreciated by many.

The landuse things here have been added from imagery, in some cases roughly, and can benefit from a tidy up when time is avalible. JOSM extra tools has a ‘replace geometry’ function that works quite well in these situations. I draw a new way on a blank layer, merge it onto a layer withe the old landuse way an replace the old with the new. This assumes that the old way is not connected to anything .. like a road… grr. In that case I do simply delete the older landuse (leaving the roads behind of course) and introduce the new landuse. If I’m really at a loss with what to do with my time I take a more kindly approach and separate the old land use for the other ways .. but I’m less likely to do that now as there is much to do in OSM.

Did Donald Trump go there?

Arr found what I was looking for .. has photos .. much better. osm.wiki/East_Africa_Tagging_Guidelines#Roads_in_East_Africa

That might get some of your people thinking. I do like the elephant in the track photo, contrast it with the Tertiary road in Uganda. I think it demonstrates that the road condition is not what necessarily makes the road classification, but rather how the community use it, and that takes local knowledge rather than a simple satellite view.

Careful! There ‘open data’ may not be compatible with OSM legal requirements. I’d not start using the data untill you have confirmation that it is legal to use in OSM. Good Luck.

Passion is good. The problem is when passions conflict.

The problem with ‘track’ is that it has some many different meanings depending on a persons experience. A person that drives a sports car will have a different interpretation compared to someone who drives a 4WD.

And there will be different interpretations between countries. Putting that all together on one world wide map is difficult.

However for your circumstances .. osm.wiki/Canadian_tagging_guidelines is a starting point. But it is not as clear as some osm.wiki/Australian_Tagging_Guidelines#Road_Tagging

Good Luck. I think you have the correct approach ..not all ‘dirt roads’ are ‘tracks’.

Don’t be afraid. Revert it. If you don’t like what the reversion has done .. don’t upload it to OSM. Only when you upload the data does OSM get the reversion, so just try it and see if it does what you want, if not just abandon the reversion.

Take the case of Greenland. While the official language is West Greenlandic (there is Thule, South Greenlandic and East Greenlandic too) all schools teach English and Danish too. I would think the probably increase in OSM participation rates by providing a West Greenlandic translation would be close to 0.

Then you have ‘Western Shara’. That is disputed territory to put it mildly. Maps showing that were (could still be) baned in Morocco … I’d not travel therewith such a map.

Then Mongolia, where navigation is by yurt, not GPS. Most people, out of town, travel from one yurt to another, yurts move! They move to keep the herds at good feed, people travel from one yurt to another to keep in contact and to aid there own navigation. The navigation by yurts would be frowned on by OSMers, yet that is what is done by the locals.

Targeting a translation simply based on the population numbers or area on a map is not a good idea. It can be used as an input but more considerations need to be made.

While this it true in terms of the numbers of people, it may not be true for the surface area of the world. Which remaining language would give OSM the best surface coverage rather than the population coverage? And which area of the world, that lacks the native language, has the ‘worst’ OSM data (if that can be reasonable quantified)? Does that area have the technical infrastructure to support effective participation in OSM?

While getting more people able to participate is a worthy goal, most people don’t participate in OSM. Targeting those who would and can participate is a better use of resources? Might be good to look at the participation rates of people in Korea, has it risen since the introduction of the new language? Will that participation remain, or is it a simple peak that dies away?

Hi, I have moved some old railway lines and stations over to OHM Open historical Map - this way the data is preserved. I have then removed those bits that don not exist anymore from OSM. For completeness you can leave a changset comment for the mapper to see what has been done.

The adjustment is done on your local PC .. not on the remote image.

You will find that the adjustment may have to be remade frequently as the image may have ‘lumps’ in it (small hill slopes can throw the image off one way on one side and the reverse on the other).

While Hydrogen is ‘easy to ignite’ in the lab (explosive range is something like 6% to 96% .. that is very wide!) .. not so easy within an air balloon. Considerable effort was made to get the bullets to ignite the zeppelins.

Hydrogen is being used as an experimental car fuel … don’t hit one of these! A crash could lead to a loud boom …

There need to be clear policies. A) Immigration B) Religion C) Beer D) Tourism

These could be linked e.g An new immigrant is required to bring/buy beer for 100 local residents (0.5 l each).

Wish more people would ‘virtually visit’ and adding anything they can see to OSM before physically visiting places. This aids their trip, helps them add things while they are there too.
