very cool. Welcome to OSM!

@chtfn: yes, if you can and want to - draw it as an area. I don’t know if you “should” use capacity=1 in that case, but at least you can. If you use it, I guess there will be some applications (which use OSM data) which will show that there is a parking space with capacity 1 because these applications may not read the sub-value :disabled. Well, their fault? I don’t know. Good question, next question. ;-) According to the definition text on the wiki page I think you should use capacity and capacity:disabled. However, it may be meant for larger parking spaces where usually there will be more general (non-disabled) parking places … Forum, mailing lists or talk page on the wiki could be a better place for such a discussion. Oh, there is already a discussion about this: Talk:Tag:amenity%3Dparking#Count_disabled_spaces_in_capacity.3F! Have a look there.

@Adam Martin: Great that you found and joined OSM, welcome! :-)

@”Should “Capacity” include or exclude the number in “Capacity:disabled”?” See capacity=* “Including all special lots, e.g. parking spaces for disabled drivers”

Points do abstract more than an area if you use them for realworld objects which are in fact an area. However areas are harder to draw (accuracy?!). I think a point is really fine for a single space.

Hi BladeTC, can you point to an example in our data/on the map? What should that be?

Welcome to OSM! Great that you want to help to improve our map data! :-)

Thank you for this nice-to-read re-view!

Joe, what should be the relation of tagging buildings with “lower back pain”? And why the website link? Can you help me to understand?

Danke schön für den Niederschrieb, interessant! Zu “anderer Renderer”, du meinst vielleicht diesen: Tiles@home (bzw. osmarenderer). Danke für deine Arbeit und weiterhin viel Spaß!

nein, so direkt ist OSM nicht gedacht. Du kannst aber OSM-basierte Karten auf dein Navi laden, oder auch Routen basierend auf OSM-Karten planen und auf dein Navi laden (beides über externe Dienste).

Viel Spaß bei OSM!

Danke schön, interessant!

try http://ra.osmsurround.org - seems to be quite similar (I never saw osmrm before). However, http://osmrm.openstreetmap.de/relation.jsp?id=2368687 works for me.

Hehe, still a nice entry! Btw: Displayed not only on our blogs page but also via RSS virtually everywhere where it is wanted. E.g. in my RSS reader, where I saw it. :-)

Welcome to the OSM blogs! ;-) …hmmmh, and I would like to mention osm.wiki/GraphHopper

Einbahnstraßenkorrektur - na das ist doch mal sehr sinnvoll! :-)

Na dann: Willkommen beim “Intensiv”-OSM!

@jfire: Yes, the performance with iD is indeed unsatisfactory - I was talking of the browser in general, sorry for being not clear.

Thanks for the links, interesting. I have made a note on the wiki page of iD.

@jfire: Thanks. A black (white dots) square jumps slowly around bit FPS shows “?”. No, I did not try chrome, and I don’t want to, in principle. ;-) I am really satisfied with Firefox. Do you notice a big performance difference between Firefox and Chrome? Maybe you can find out which component is triggering this and file a bug report for Firefox?
