I chose my name from an Aboriginal language. The number is ISD code for Australia. For UK things I use 44 and some other name.

Administrative boundaries don’t necessarily align with present features. Be cautious in aligning things. Good luck, it is a lot of work looking at realignments.

Hi,

For remembering shops along a road I take photos - saves trying to remember how they are spelt, the sequence .. If you do it ‘after hours’ (sunday?) then the doors are closed.

For OSM tags the OSM wiki can be used. amenity=drinking_water is not specific - could be a river with good water. man_made=drinking_fountain is very specific. See man_made=drinking_fountain

I have ‘done’ a number of train routes now. My thinking in the position of ‘public_transport=stop_position’ has changed to make it the centre of the train, not where the driver stops. Reason: Train lengths vary and with that the driver stop position changes, but the train center does not. The only exception to this are short platforms where the stop position is adjacent the centre of the platform. This would be useful for passengers as an indication of where to gather for catching the train, there should be more of them than drivers and so of more use to most map users.

I think a similar thing goes for ferries … should be the entry position for the passengers or the center of them.

Buses however have the passenger entry near the driver, with a few exceptions.

Looks good.

Think you want to keep it fairly local. Not everywhere in the world.

All bus routes?? Anywhere is the world?!

I’d think ‘land’ does not include waterways, lakes etc. Using the coastline to define ‘land’ would include these water features. Many coastlines do not follow rivers ‘inland’ but have simple lines across their mouths to define the coastline. As an approximation it works .. but at a fine scale it misses things.

It is an issue that OSM will need to deal with. If OSM does not deal with it then other imagery providers may well fall to the same over use problem.

Could HOT projects cache the tiles it uses - reducing Maxar loads?

In my area of the world Maxar tends to have the most up to date imagery, so it is a useful check that things still exist or not. I do tend to use other imagery for detail as some of them have more resolution.

Take a look at what one render offers : https://osmand.net/features/map-viewing

What language do you want to see? Roads only? What style of map? Do you want to see public transport? Do you want to see bicycle/hiking routes ?

The possibilities are very large… OSM has lots avalible for renders to chose what they want to show on their maps.

colour NOT color

Why do you not do it yourself?
