Hi, can you please give your reasoning for making this change?

It directly undoes a recent UK-wide change by DaveF to remove landuse tagging from golf courses, which as I understand things is correct.

In addition, adding the hole numbers as name= is not correct according to the wiki: golf=hole. The hole numbers are already tagged as osm.wiki/Tag:ref=.

Hi, I’ve reverted this change because it’s obviously wrong. You’ve changed a car park into a building.

Please can you explain what you’re trying to achieve? Perhaps the rest of the community can help? Thanks.

Hi, welcome to OpenStreetMap.

Can you please try and make future changesets a bit smaller? This one covers most of the area of England, which makes it hard for other local mappers to review, as they end up looking at changes outside their local area. Splitting it into multiple changesets, one for (say) each town/city you’re editing would be great.

Note that you can also select a building and press the ‘q’ key to automatically square its corners, which makes it easier to draw regular buildings.

Thanks, and happy editing :)

This route? osm.org/directions?engine=graphhopper_bicycle&route=54.2682%2C-2.7882%3B54.2432%2C-2.7694#map=14/54.2558/-2.7786&layers=N

If so, I think there must be a bug in Garmin Connect. I’ve checked the data in OSM and, unless I’m misunderstanding the interpretation of turn:lanes:backward, I think it’s all correct.

Hi, thanks for editing OpenStreetMap! I don’t think this edit can be correct, as the number of lanes on the road at this point is definitely 3: one lane in either direction, plus a turning lane in the middle. I’ve reverted your change for this reason.

We’ll have to find a different way of fixing the cycle routing problem. What routing software are you using, and how does it fail to route?

Hi, welcome to OpenStreetMap and thanks for adding your local knowledge!

It looks like there are quite a few dragged nodes in this changeset, where you’ve accidentally moved a shop/fence/solar panel from one place to another. Please watch out for that in future if you can. I’ve fixed these dragged nodes so everything’s fine now.

Please also make separate edits for separate areas — so in this case one edit for your changes to Lancaster, and one for your changes to Kirkby Lonsdale. That makes it easier for other local mappers to review changes without seeing areas they’re not familiar with.

Thanks again for adding your local knowledge to the map, and please continue to do so :)

Looks pretty neat to me!

Be my guest :)

That seems pretty convincing! I should have checked the school’s website, sorry. Thanks for your work on schools recently :)

110687994 over 4 years ago

Heya, seems a bit odd that the name now includes ‘Penrith’. I can’t check locally but it seems pretty unlikely that’s going to be on the signage at the school. Where did the name data come from? Ta

Heya, thanks for this. Just a quick note that when mapping terraced/semidetached houses, the nodes for the joined walls should be joined together. The editor will have given you a warning like ‘house crosses house’ about this. I’ll fix these houses, but please make sure to join the nodes in future, thanks :)

110640071 over 4 years ago

Hi, I’m wondering why this was necessary. The layer key only defines an order for overlapping ways which are not joined with a node, and I don’t think that’s the case for any of the ways you’ve added the key to (where it was unset before) here.

I fixed it for you in changeset/109898859 then

Hi, was your change to the Laura in the Lakes cafe intentional here? The cafe seems to have somehow become combined with a bench further down the road.

108833002 over 4 years ago

Fixed in changeset/109151210. Please comment if that’s incorrect. Thanks.

108833002 over 4 years ago

Heya, was the change of the footpath (way/111626010) to a golf path intentional? I don’t know Seascale that well, but from the satellite imagery it looks like it might be on the golf course at its southern end, but probably isn’t a golf cart when it’s going past bits of Sellafield.

Thanks for your edits today to Heysham golf course. They all look useful and correct, and your more detailed changeset comments make it easier to check the changes. Thanks for taking the time to work on this :)

No, it all looks good to me! Thanks for contributing :)

One thing to try out (if you’re not doing so already) is making sure that your satellite imagery is aligned with the ‘cadastral parcels’ data before editing. That provides a guaranteed source of truth about the correct alignment of things, since satellite imagery can be misaligned by a metre or two in some places (and it varies across the country, which is why it can’t be corrected automatically, frustratingly).

Open the ‘Background Settings’ pane on the right, enable the cadastral parcels layer, and then use the imagery offset arrows to align the satellite imagery with the blue parcel outlines. They typically line up with garden fences, field walls, etc. Some of them might not line up at all, but in an urban area there are typically enough things they do line up with to give you confidence the offset is right.

Doing the alignment means the buildings you draw should have exactly the right coordinates to match up with GPS readings in the future. Hope that makes sense :)

Although actually, looking at your subsequent edit it looks like you might have found this out for yourself already. Sorry for the noise

108094071 over 4 years ago

Hi, thanks for your edits to Ingleton! :) Just to note, you can press the ‘Q’ key in the editor, when a building is selected, to automatically square its corners. That’s an easy way of making it easier to draw neat buildings. Ta
