Thanks for the feedback. I’ll give Sketch Map a try.

Thanks for your hard work!

This is not an obituary. I’m okay.

Just in case people were wondering.

And thanks!

Super Projekt!!! Ich habe davon im weeklyOSM gelesen, einen Tag nachdem mein Video ueber mein kleines Projekt bei YouTube online gegangen ist, so ein Zufall.

Video ist auf Englisch mit automatisch generierten deutschen Untertiteln (fuer Korrekturlesen war ich dieses Mal zu faul).

Wie oft werden die Daten geupdated?

Welcome and enjoy mapping!

Thanks for sharing!

Before I used the Quick Action on OSMAnd, I had usually just used https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:emergency=defibrillator, but with the Quick Action, you don’t have to remember all the options and can have a preset. You still don’t have to fill all of them in, but at least it can give you all the possible keys, if you have set it up like that.

@Fizzie41: Yeah, but I guess it looks more impressive on satellite than on a map. The provider was their choice, I only gave them the coordinates, because I didn’t want to breach copyright.

And thanks, all!

Usually the name contains something like “burial ground” or “palace” or “castle”, so I could be more precise than “historic=yes”.

I would make an exception in cases like “Roman villa”, because villas are still being built, but the meaning has changed. Nobody is still building oppida/ oppidums.

I think that is because people still think with paper maps in mind, where all the information had to be in the label. This is after I’ve seen people take over a label from a paper map reading “Giant’s Grave” as the “historic” value. Obviously, there were no giants in history, so this is a local name for some megalithic tomb. (I’ve seen the same in Italian.)

Looks really nice and more inviting to live there with the green. Well done.

A very good project to work on. Well done.

Well done on mapping so much within your first year! Keep it up!

Very cute umbrellas. About the material, I have talked to a friend who works in the Heritage Council, and she said that the thatch (probably reeds) growing along the River Shannon is useless now.

I have contacted a thatched in the area and will hopefully learn more about materials etc.

Re Devon: I remember reading and translating a book about rural architecture in England “Traditional Houses of Rural Britain”. I really liked it, it’s all about how their styles differ because of the different local materials at disposal to the builders.

Re mapping roof shapes: I think we’re supposed to map footprint. It’s a different story for 3D mapping, of course.

@Mateusz Konieczny: Could be anything from Bronze Age to early Middle Ages, but without an archaeological excavation, there’s no telling. I doubt it will ever get excavated, though, because there are too many of these structures around. Unless the farmer wants to build a house on it, then he should call in an archaeologist, but builders are usually not that eager to involve archaeologists, because it slows down the building project and makes it more expensive, too.

Thanks everyone!

And hello back! I only saw this now after your message. Covid lockdown definitely helped me to get seriously into mapping.

Keep it going, even if not in such an intensity as before!

Great job, it’s important to map permeability properly, even if it takes some elbow grease.

Hi, thanks for that. I had come across photographs of it alright, but hadn’t searched for it on OSM. The spelling is different than on the British War office map; I’ve changed your spelling to alt_name and added the BWO spelling as name. I hope that’s alright with you.
