Just FYI, there natural water pools are for non man made water bodies, like lakes and ponds. Search for swimming pool and you'll get the right tag.

Also if you know a building is a house, you can tag it as a house and not just a building.

Instead of just tagging as a building, if you know it is a house, you can tag it as a house. Most houses in the US are actually "detached houses" which is even more informative.

...yes there are a lot of tags, but you learn them one at a time.

Hello. I see you've started updating the map.

I would recommend reading up on OSM tags as you're putting name tags on buildings that normally do not have names. We encourage that kind of data to be put in the building tag instead. For instance instead of building=yes, it'll be building=shed and not have a name tag at all.

Different map renderers will use it to display those kinds of buildings differently.

Welcome. Not bad for a first edit.

I connected the end of a path to a turning circle. OSM has a convention of trying to connect the end of paths to nearby streets so routers can properly transition people from roads to paths.

Eventually it'll be connected to the sidewalk, but that hasn't been mapped yet.

Please keep adding speed limits and paths, or anything else you feel like adding.

Hello, I've been working on the Mount Olive area for the last couple months, and saw this change show up in the history.

OSM has a lot of tags and the name tag that you added isn't the correct one for addresses. I took the liberty of updating it to the correct address tag for you. This should let routers to use the address.

If gnome-maps doesn't have that option, there are other editors, like the web based ID and JOSM.

If anything looks wrong in the Mountain Ridge area (or anywhere else for that matter), don't hesitate to change it. I don't know that area well.

Kind of impressed you found that. I learned about the alt_name tag after making that change and forgot to update it.

I aligned it to Bing Aerial. A lot of the buildings aren't pure rectangles. Do you have an offset on Bing Aerial or a different imagery? Feel free to square them if I forgot.

I had some issues with the web editor not allowing me to click on the links and I could not zoom in enough to fix it, so I merged some of the close cross over nodes to reduce the number of nodes.

I would like somebody experienced with intersections to look it over.
