… ah, I see that there is a “new” proposal/scheme for natural=water+water=river. Oh well.

waterway=riverbank is the correct way to tag large rivers: waterway=riverbank

I’m not able to edit right now, but one thing to correct is to make it a multipolygon and add the islands as inner members. I also don’t know why the way has layer=-2. It should also be waterway=riverbank and not natural=water.

Fint, Valdemarsvik ser ut att behöva någon aktiv som fixar till det. Hoppas du även sätter in restauranger, barer, hotell etc (med addr:, website, contact: etc också) när vägnätet börjar bli mer komplett. Har märkt att sådan info är bra att ha när man leker turist. :)

Yeah, I think they are in meters. There are quite a lot of old traces around the railway station and the nearby junction that I used to approximate the offset. Good luck with the remapping. :)

Easier to use http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/?view=redactionbot to find redactions. ;)

Nice! Looked a bit scary on OSMI license view before the redaction. I just hope you are calibrating the Bing images. Looks to be quite a bit offset. [10.16; -2.28] looks like a good value, in JOSM, around the railway station but I guess the offset varies a bit.

Kan vara bra att fråga på mailinlistan: http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-se eller IRC: osm.wiki/Irc (#osm.se) också. Vet inte om så många svenska mappar läser dagboksinläggen. :)

Good way to check what's affected is http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/?view=wtfe&lon=-3.97998&lat=53.55597&zoom=6&overlays=overview,wtfe_point_clean,wtfe_line_clean,wtfe_point_harmless,wtfe_line_harmless,wtfe_point_inrelation,wtfe_line_inrelation_cp,wtfe_line_inrelation,wtfe_point_modified,wtfe_line_modified_cp,wtfe_line_modified,wtfe_point_created,wtfe_line_created_cp,wtfe_line_created

Yeah, osm.wiki/Map_Features is a good starting point. It's also good to look at how things have been mapped at other locations. Subscribing to the local/country mailing list (http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo) is also a good idea and good place to ask questions.

As we say in Sweden: hurry slowly. :)

Good job!

The biggest problem to me is that no one really know what will disappear yet as the rules haven't been set. Will a 4 year old "highway=road" cerated by an undecided/rejected/anonymous user, that was way of the mark, and that I've since moved, refined, retagged etc be removed? Sucks if I put a lot of work into an area and it will all be gone just because the initial useless stub was created by a rejecting/undecided/anonymous user. Same thing with extending a very very short initial road (few meters) and mapping it for several km. Will this be removed even though the initial stub was more or less useless?

I saw an algoritm posted as a comment on the OSMF blog that would at least preserve "legal" edits. Is this going to be used. The uncertainty of what is really going to happen sucks.

Yeah, looks like Nominatim is pretty broken still. Last update: 2011/08/19. :D

Don't do that. It show up in the search just fine. On osm.org you have to press "More results" to get "Town Columbia, Boone County, Missouri, United States of America" which links here: osm.org/?minlon=-92.433837890625&minlat=38.8635368347168&maxlon=-92.2276153564453&maxlat=39.0294036865234

If Navit doesn't show enough detailed information then that is where the fix should go.

Could be that the southwestern lopp has been removed. Found this photo from 2010 http://foto.ceskedalnice.cz/vase-foto/10/101012-D8/slides/22.html where the northwestern loop is under construction and the lower road is partly removed. So in this case I believe OSM to be more correct.

Sorry alexz, didn't see your links as I hadn't scrolled down. That is a clear example of copying. I apologize for my hasty comment. :)

How is it copying if he's tracing from an sanctioned source or from surveying/GPS tracks?

Don't know if I'm misinterpreting you but to pan in JOSM just hold down the right mouse button and drag.

I don't either see a problem in having a lot of details for non-street objects. I regularly use OSM when out hiking or biking and it is nice to have a lot of small details to help locate yourself even if you have GPS lock. However, it's best to keep the general detail level of an area the same when mapping.

BTW, real, non-reduced, admin boundaries can be quite weird sometimes. :)

Looks OK here now. Just one tip though: add the tags to the relation instead (no tags on the outer way). This seems to avoid some render bugs.

E.g.

[outer way]

[inner way(s)]
foo=bar
source=imagination
…

[relation]
building=yes
…

I've been doing a bit of armchair mapping in and around Guimarães. I'm a bit confused about the usage of the different highway classifications in Portugal though. Seems there are a lot of roads tagged as tertiary around Guimarães that I'd personally would tag as just residential/unclassified. Perhaps I'm just too used to mapping in Sweden and Finland where there are significantly fewer roads. ;)

I found the Portugese wiki page here on OSM and used Google translate to try and understand when to use the different highway values in Portugal. However, it would be nice if someone who spoke Portugese or is involved with Portugese mapping could add a proper English translation. Would be a lot easier to help then. :)
