Hi, as a fellow mapper who has visited the area; the lines that the AI found should rather be classified as paths, not as unmaintained track roads. The majority of them are small paths used by locals, they are not used by any vehicles (and could not be used by any, either.)

This changeset deleted a major connecting road (highway=unclassified): ID: 406746301, in Changeset #73242657

This change should be undone or the road remapped by the responsible author!

Hi mbranco2,

I am very surprised that this line is suddenly assigned to my changeset. I have not added this line, however I 'touched' it multiple times during editing. As far as I could see someone put it to mark areas which do not have sattelite imagery coverage. However, this has changed some months ago when new Bing images were added. I guess this line can be deleted without any problems.

Kind regards!

No problem, I see what mistakes I did. However, those areas were mapped by me almost one year ago and I can assure you that my "mapping style" has changed, especially now that I was made aware of the complications. I'm currently reworking all the super-huge areas starting from the south of Gungu town, but it takes a lot of time since I try to keep the best level of detail the sattelite imagery offers.

Thanks for letting me know!

As you are not the only one who has recently contacted me about my edits, I assume that I've been flagged somewhere. Maybe you could leave them a comment that I am aware of the issues and will fix them as soon as time allowes.

Have a nice day,

I'm aware of the problem being shown in your link and I am not using this method anymore in my recent edits. The whole area will be re-mapped since I consider my old edits to be un-accurate - and, like you pointed out, mapped in a wrong way.

I do not see what you mean by "Never connect areas with roads"; does it refer to the problem you pointed out with the link? Or is it another issue? Why should areas not be connected to roads? You can find areas connected to roads in OSM all over the world.

I'll gladly listen to any advice to improve my way(s) of mapping.

Cheers,

Please do not classify residential dirt tracks as "tertiary highway". That's confusing and wrong, please check the OSM wiki for further information on how to classify roads/tracks.

Thank you.
