Be advised to check information about the legality of mapping activities in China. osm.wiki/China#Legality as a starter.

"Leider ist der Südtirol-Layer weiß mit roten Linien, da heben sich die gelben Punkte der Wireframe-Ansicht zu wenig ab."

Gehe in die Einstellungen, Anzeige-Einstellungen, Reiter "Farben". "Knoten:Standard" und "Knoten:Verbindung" sind die für Dich interessanten.

Especially when you have deadly slow internet, you should try get JOSM. It may be a one time pain to download, but then you can do most work offline.

@gnocchi01: Das sieht mir nach Browser-Cache-Problem aus. Leere den mal und probiere es nochmal.

Have you seen http://www.google.ru/intl/ru/landing/transsib/en.html ?
Movie and map are synchronized in both directions.

A well done leaflet available in several languages about the works and goals of OSM could be more helpful.

This on in Sydney, Australia was recently mentioned:
osm.org/?lat=-33.829894&lon=151.214222&zoom=18&layers=B000FTF

I checked my old notes and maps. It was north of Newtyle, where the track crosses the road a second time. I recognize, SreetView is available there and here it was:
http://maps.google.de/maps?t=h&q=49.033333,8.35&ie=UTF8&ll=56.569698,-3.154793&spn=0.069416,0.175095&z=13&layer=c&cbll=56.56957,-3.154799&panoid=Q7jrleIXwo6d-zR5oq2Amg&cbp=12,22.29,,0,3.24

In 1988, coming from Dundee at the beginning of a hike around Scotland, I camped a night in the forest after? (maybe "before") passing through Newtyle. I think, it was near a disused rail track dam that crossed the B954 (no bridge left). Ahh... memories... ;-)

Have a look at osm.wiki/TIGER_fixup#Accuracy:_Offset_from_reality

Ich glaube, ich poste zuviel in englischsprachigen Foren... :D

NoName simply highlights residential roads without a name.

Hi Igor! Glad to hear it is useful for you. I developed the functionality for JOSM, when I also traced plenty of buildings from Yahoo aerial imagery and wanted a simple way to get the shape nice. The old function could do only rectangles.

Wenn der Bach schmal genug ist, den Logger in einen wasserdichten Kunststoffbehälter tun, reinwerfen, nebenherlaufen und dann am Ende wieder rausholen. Behälter sollte für alle Fälle farblich auffällig sein sowie Hinweise für einen eventuellen Finder enthalten - man weiss ja nie...

In der Map den Data-Layer einblenden und beim Detail dann "show history". Dann siehst Du, wer wann an dem Objekt gearbeitet hat.

Hi! As far as I know, German law has always been that copyright need not to be explicitely stated. Since some 20 years, this also holds for countries like the U.S. Have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright#Obtaining_and_enforcing_copyright

Sure a nice way to check and beef up the maps, but isn't it a copyright violation if we use such movies to check and tag OSM data?

Something to read:

osm.wiki/index.php/Proposed_features/House_numbers/Karlsruhe_Schema

As I pointed out, talk to the render guys about this problem. As said above, housenumbers may not be a vital information for map rendering, but for other applications of the osm-data.
Surely, proper rendering of house numbers isn't trivial. Maybe just render first and last numbers of houses in a block or something like this. Maybe you should put this issue into the osm forum http://forum.openstreetmap.org/

You don't map for the renderer. If some useful data isn't rendered nicely, it is a renderer's problem. Give the renderer guys a hint where to look at. But don't remove useful data from the database just because it isn't rendered nicely by one, some or all renderes.
