Sorry link didn’t work north side of hendry drive? i assume they are terraced houses , i sometimes put all the numbers on the block which seem to work in the search ok.

I have just drawn 12 or so outlines here any good? osm.org/go/euO53ZsRE–?m=

Many of us can add building outlines from bing or DG but we can only guess what the building is, is it just a roof, a house, a shop, a factory, or does it still exist?. If you are happy to tag stuff i will happily trace a few outlines. Do you have a few street gpx traces just to check alignment of Bing/DG before we do too much over misplaced images. Happy Mapping

I can see a dash cam with a gps could be a very useful piece of equipment.Thanks Happy Mapping

We should thank Robert Whittaker for levering the info from councils and Barry Cornelius for his work in formatting it. (I hope i got this correct :) ? https://osm.mathmos.net/ Barry Cornelius https://www.rowmaps.com/kmls/

Thank you both. I have found this info very useful . Andy

Welcome. I started recording GPXes over ten years ago and eventually i uploaded almost all to OSM, 1000+ of them now, all walked. I use Potlatch2 and like Hendric who uses JOSM it can show all traces in the same area. I map a line that is an average, Bing is also a good help and once aligned with the same average is probably the best way to get best detail. I take JPEGs of official notices of pathlines and changes and using the gates, stiles and filger posts confirms rights of way. In England and probably Wales the councils maintain their Definitive Maps which may be available online which SHOULD show the latest changes. There is a source of County Council Rights of Way in KLM form I’ve seen somewhere, i’ll remember and add it. Happy Mapping

Good work. You have inspired me into doing similar ( or trying to ) with the walk traces that i have uploaded.

Hi Alex Thank you for more interesting posts. I have mapped some similar holes. They are very common in Cambridgeshire, most new build developments that cover much area have then. I believe even single houses must have soakaways, to attenuate downpours that can overwhelm drains and waterways then flood property. As a child in the 1950s we encountered “swamps” that were just bits of flooded fields that rarely dried up, I suppose it was natures way of coping with droughts. Draining fields and fast run off in developed areas as caused flood problems on it’s way to the sea which as brought about the need to manage heavy rains or fast thaws. The larger flood alleviation or attenuation basins ( which were tags i was advised to use) have, or will become lovely mini natural havens for wildlife and hopefully stay as such, I really like them. They work best, in my opinion, if they a gently sloping depression as the deeper, steeper ones “must?” have high people proof fences which is unfortunate. Happy Mapping Andy

Degrees.degrees works fine, is simpler to use in my opinion. there seems to be lots of coord converters on the net if you have the need. Best we stick to the system used here from the start.

It may seem excessive or not even technically correct but some will find it useful. If the park is huge it will help visitors find their way around, so improve it if you can otherwise just leave it as it is.

Alex i have enjoyed your articles in the past. Welcome back.

Thanks for sharing, your thoughts, and your mapping :}

Have you looked here osm.wiki/Roof_modelling

If you connect the GPS to your PC and run Basecamp is the map monochrome or colour on the PC. If colour try adjusting the gps display settings including brightness. Try out routing on your PC how well does routing work on the OSM map page and on Basecamp. You could force the GPS to route another way by using “goto” to an intermediate point then go from there to the destination. Could also post where you got the OSM on garmin map from? Maybe someone has or will try that same download and say if they had the same problem, they may have had the same problem or they may even have a fix that they can share. or a better chance of getting an answer try asking some questions on OSM help forum but please say where the download was from. that should give some clues to the source of the problem(s).

Before moving or drawing buildings it is best to show all GPX traces. Next see if the roads and the GPX traces align, use the best average to align the Ariel to the traces. Only map the outlines to that newly aligned view. All the editors have a way of doing this. You should not believe your eyes until you have checked the alignment. It’s a pain to have to move a lot of stuff so check first. Welcome and Happy Mapping

I prefer option 2

I enjoyed that. Thanks and Happy Mapping.

To check the legal status of a right of way i sometimes look at the council’s definitive map of rights of way site. I can’t supply a link as each county and sometime area as it’s own site. Another easier source is Barry Cornelius’ site, but that data is not quite so up to date. This data is in KML format and can be displayed over Google Earth or with GPS Prune on OSM. To save mappers outside of England time note this is England only. http://www.rowmaps.com/
