Thanks for the fast reply! I’ve partially reverted your changes, so the building is restored (changeset/142841180).

Why delete the power plant building? Was that an intentional change, or an accident?

This change broke routing for cycle route NCN6, because the street isn’t one-way for bikes. Please be careful when making changes like this! Thanks

I’ve fixed it in changeset/142757914

Heya, thanks for your contributions around south Bowland!

Just checking: are you sure things like node/11269605741 are power=catenary_mast? That tagging is meant for overhead lines used by pantographs (on trains or trolley buses). power=pole is more common for the wooden power poles which support minor lines throughout the UK.

See power=catenary_mast and power=pole

Ta :)

Hiya, just a friendly reminder: you can press ‘Q’ in the editor to automatically square the corners of a building when it’s selected. It makes the map neater :)

Now there’s no landuse for Heaves Hotel at all. Is that deliberate?

Hiya, this looks more like removing potentially useful information than ‘fixing’ anything. How is it a fix?

No worries, it’s a steep learning curve :) If you haven’t found it already, there’s plenty of guidance and tagging information on osm.wiki/

I’d highly recommend StreetComplete as an app to try for surveying like this while you’re out-and-about.

I’ll go through your previous edits in a bit and will re-add the missing buildings. :)

Hiya, welcome to OpenStreetMap!

If something (hotel, shop, etc.) no longer exists, but the building it was in does still exist, please edit it to remove the hotel/shop/etc. tags and leave the building and address data in place. Otherwise you’re removing information which is still valuable from the map.

You might consider using StreetComplete for this, rather than OsmAnd. It’s easier to use and helps to get the tagging changes right.

Happy editing!

Heya, are you aware of the OSMUK Cadastral Parcels layer for calibrating imagery offsets? If you’re going to make alignment adjustments, please make sure to calibrate the background imagery alignment first using it.

See osm.wiki/Property_extents_in_the_United_Kingdom

It provides a single source of truth for imagery alignment across the UK, which is good because the Bing imagery changes alignment by a few metres every time it’s refreshed, and its alignment varies across the UK.

The Bing alignment for Gosforth looks to be about -1.46,-1.82 at the moment.

Happy mapping :)

What were you trying?

Hi, are you sure all those fences are actually walls? If so, someone’s been on a major wall building spree in Carnforth since I last visited. Have you surveyed this in person? Thanks

Hiya, the changeset comment here says this is editing the hills around Ullswater. That’s not quite true though — the edit spans most of the UK, with changes in Glenfinnan and Northampton.

Please try to split your edits up geographically, so that others who moderate edits can more easily check the changes local to them. So this would have been better as three edits: one in Northampton, one in Glenfinnan and one in Ullswater.

Thanks!

Hi. Are you aware you can automatically square up the corners of a building by selecting it in the editor and pressing ‘Q’?

Happy editing :)

Just to check there’s no misunderstandings here: “The Lake District” is the name of a mountainous area (and national park) in England. It’s not the name of a lake or a set of lakes. I realise this is confusing, but that’s just what it’s called.

So (with my limited knowledge of Slovakian) it *would* be appropriate to use the word ‘vrchy’ to refer to the Lake District.

“Cumbrian Mountains” is mentioned on Wikipedia, yes, but as a local I’ve barely ever heard them called that.

In any case, the name refers precisely to the mountains within the Lake District national park, so I still think it’s appropriate to move name:sk=Kumbrické vrchy to relation/287917 — unless there’s a Slovakian translation of “Lake District National Park” which would be more appropriate to use?

haha :D

Thanks again for all your ongoing changes and attention to detail :)

Heya, just checking: should way/24564297 be motor_vehicle=private instead of motor_vehicle=no? If not, it probably shouldn’t be tagged as a driveway. Ta :)

I wondered if it was something like that. Thanks for fixing it so quickly and adding more detail, great work! :D
